What is the charge flowing per second in a circuit?
The numerical representation of one coulomb of charge moving past a point in a circuit per second is called an ampere.
What is the abbreviation for ampere?
A
How many amperes are there in a kilo-ampere?
Since kilo- means one thousand, there are one thousand amperes in a kilo-ampere, and there are 0.001 amperes in a kilo-ampere.
What is an ampere-foot?
An ampere-foot is a unit used in calculating the fall of pressure in distributing electrical mains, equivalent to a current of one ampere flowing through one foot of conductor.
Where does the word ampere come from?
Named after the French physicist Andre Marie Ampere (1755 - 1836)
What is the Origin of word ampere?
the unit ampere is named after André-Marie Ampère, one of the forefathers of electromagnetism.

When did Andre Marie ampere invent the ampere?
Andre Ampere didn't 'invent' the ampere. The unit for current was named many years after the death of Ampere, in his honour. The ampere is defined in terms of its magnetic effect -i.e. the resulting force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors. It was Ampere who discovered the relationship between current and force.
What did Andre ampere discovered?
Ampere disconvered the relationship between the magnitude of an electric current and the force acting on a current-carrying conductor within a magnetic field. Thus, the unit of current, the ampere, was named in his honour.
What year was the Ampere law invented?
The first recorded use of the electrical term ampere was in 1881, forty five years after the death of André Ampere for whom it was named.
What is a metric unit named after a scientist?
Newton, Gauss, Pascal, Ampere, Ohm are some.
What was Andre Marie ampere famous for?
Andre Marie ampere was famous for inventing amps which are the so called base units of electrical currentsCommentAmpere did not invent 'amps' (amperes). The ampere was named in honour of Ampere many years after his death. He is famous for his research into electromagnetism and the interaction of forces due to electromagnetism.
What is an electrical unit named for an inventor?
The ampere, the volt and the hertz are just two examples.There are many more electrical units named for inventors.
Why is Andre Ampere famous for?
Have you heard of an Ampere? Possibly not, but you likely have heard of the abbreviation, Amp (which is a unit of electric current). Andre Ampere studied current carrying wires and made some important advances in the study of electromagnetism. The unit of current was therefore named in his honour.
