Best Answer

Amps is short for amperes, a measure of current in electricity. It is equivalent to one coulomb (a unit of charge) per second and is named after André-Marie Ampère.

Answer

An 'amp' is a widely-used, but incorrect, symbol for the 'ampere', the SI unit of measurement for electric current. The correct symbol is an upper-case 'A'.

The ampere is one of seven SI Base Units, and is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to the magnetic fields set up around those conductors.
