The SI Base Unit of electric current is the ampere(symbol: A), which is defined in terms of its magnetic effect, as follows: 'that constant current which, when maintained in two straight, parallel, conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross-sectional area, and placed one metre apart in a vacuum, would produce between them a force equal to 2 x 10-7 newton per metre of length.'

What is current of electricity?
Current is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. Current is measured in amps.
What is the electricity in an electric fan measured?
The electricity in afan is measured by wats.
How many times can electricity be measured?
There is no limit to the number of times electricity could be measured.
What is Alternating current is measured in?
Alternating Current is measured in Amperes.
The electricity that flows in wires is called?
The force that pushes electricity through a wire or anything else is called electromotive force. This is the same as potential difference and is measured in volts. A volt is the potential difference that causes a power dissipation of 1 watt when the current is 1 amp.
What is current of electricity?
Current is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. Current is measured in amps.
What called the flow of electricity?
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
What are the three electrical guantities?
The three electrical quantities are current voltage and resistance. Current is measured in amperes (A) and is the rate at which electricity flows through a conductor. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and is the electrical force pushing the current through the conductor. Resistance is measured in ohms () and is the opposition to the flow of current. Current - measured in amperes (A) Voltage - measured in volts (V) Resistance - measured in ohms ()
What word is used by scientists to describe the flow of electricity?
Current measured in amperes. Coulombs of electrons.
The unnit that current is measured in for short?
Kind of electricity resulting from build up of charged particles
IsThere a scientific name for static electricity?
electroresister.A2. Electricity is fine. Electromotive force is measured in Volts; the actual flow of current is measured in Amperes; and the quantity of work done is the Voltage multiplied by the Amperes.An electric current is a flow of electrons.
What does the term voltage and current mean?
Voltage -the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in voltsCurrent - a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes"
The device used to test electronic flow is what?
The flow of electricity (known as current) is measured in amps by an ammeter.
Small units of electricity?
As 'electricity' is not a quantity and, therefore, cannot be measured, you will need to be more specific as to what you are asking. For example, are you referring to current, voltage, etc?
What is the electricity in an electric fan measured?
The electricity in afan is measured by wats.
What is the difference between electricity and electrical energy?
Electricity is the flow of electrons, while electrical energy is the magnitude of the electricity times the duration.Comment'Electricity' is a generic title for a branch of science, and is not a quantity and so cannot be measured. Current is the flow of electrons, not 'electricity', and current x time is charge, not energy. 'Electrical energy' is simply a form of energy which can be measured by the work it can do.
What is static electricity measured in?
I believe it is measured in watts. Static electricity is measured in volts. Most static electricity discharges are measured in Kilovolts. Lightning is measures in Megavolts.
