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.

Did Andre ampere discover amps?

No, Andre-Marie Ampere lay down the foundational mathematical and physical theory based on the discovery of Hans Christian Ørsted that a magnetic needle is deflected by an adjacent electric current.In recognition of his theoretical contribution, an international convention signed in 1881 established the ampere as a standard unit of electrical measurement. Ampere died in 1836.
