An ampere is the unit of (electrical) current.
An ampere hour (A.h) is a non-SI unit of measurement for electrical charge (the SI unit is a coulomb-which is equivalent to an 'ampere second'). So an ampere hour is equivalent to 3600 coulombs.Cells and batteries are generally rated in terms of ampere hours, as a convenient alternative to the kilocoulomb.
As an ampere is an SI base unit, it is NOT defined in terms of the coulomb. In fact, it is defined in terms of the force (in newtons) between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors. The coulomb, being an SI derived unit, is equivalent to an ampere second.
Liken volt and amp to a water in a pipe. Voltage is the water pressure in the pipe and amperage is the water flow through the pipe. They are two completely different electrical units.
The symbol that represents ampere is "A." It is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the flow of one coulomb of charge per second. Ampere is named after the French physicist André-Marie Ampère, one of the founders of the science of classical electromagnetism.
The SI convention is that all SI units, when written in full, are written entirely in lower-case letters. For those units named in honour of individuals, only their symbols are capitalised. For example, the SI unit for power is written as watt but, because it is named in honour of James Watt, its symbol is a capital W.So it is incorrect to capitalise ampere (not amp!).
The SI unit of induced current is the ampere (A).
The unit of pole strength in the SI system is ampere-meter (A•m).
Ampere is the basic unit of electrical current.AnswerThere are, in fact, two answers. The ampere is the SI Base Unit for electric current, but it is also the SI Derived Unit for magnetomotive force.
Yes, the ampere is an SI base unit, one of the seven, and equals the passage of a Coulomb of charge per second. Its official definition has to do with force between current carrying wires though.

The SI unit for electric current is the ampere, symbolized as "A".
The SI unit of EMF (electromotive force) in a direct current circuit is Volts. The circuits current is measured in ampere's

The SI unit of electric current is the Ampere.

Ampere is the SI unit of electric current.
The SI unit of electric current is the ampere. While it is an SI base unit, it can also be considered to be a combined unit, coulombs per second.
