The rate at which work IS being done - or at which it would be done if you switched on an electrical appliance or some other piece of electrical equipment - is called 'power' and it is measured in watts.

What is a current in a circuit measured in?
ampsAnswerElectric current is measured by means of an ammeter. Electric current is expressed in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the magnetic effect of an electric current -i.e. the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.
An ampere is a unit of electrical?
The Ampere (capitalized because its name came from a person) is the basic unit of electrical current.
What is the unit of measurement for electrical flow rate?
That would be the current. The international unit for electrical current is the Ampere. Spelt ampere (with a lower case "a"). The abbreviation is given the upper case "A".
Difference between voltage and current?
Voltage is electrical potential, measure in derived units of volts, which is joules per coulomb. Current is electrical flow, measured in derived units of amperes, which is coulombs per second. Stated in other terms, voltage is energy per charge, while current is charge per time. That makes power, or watts, equal to energy per time, and that is joules per second.If you think of the water system analogy, volts is sort of similar to pounds per square inch (though not completely so), while amperes is similar to gallons per minute.AnswerVoltage is synonymous with 'potential difference' -not potential- measured in volts. Current is the flow of electrical charge, measured in amperes. The volt is an SI derived unit, wheras an ampere is an SI base unit.
A coulomb is a measure of whereas an ampereis a measure of?
A coulomb is a unit for measurement of electrical charge and an ampere is the unit used for measurement of electric current.
What is the unit for an electrical current?
Electrical current is measured amperes (A), which is one of the seven SI Base Units.
How intensity measured?
If you think to an electrical current the SI unit is ampere (A).
What is a current measured in?
Ammeters (amps) An Ammeter is a meter for measuring electrical current, the unit of which is the Ampere (amp)
Current is measured in?
The unit of electrical current is the Ampere. 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second.
What is the unit for electric currents?
Electrical current is measured amperes (A), which is one of the seven SI Base Units.
What is moving electrical charges measured in amperes?
Charges, whether moving or not, are measured in coulomb, not in amperes.Amperes is the unit of current - coulombs per second.
What is the unite of current?
Current is measured with an ammeter and in units called amperes, or amps.ampsamperes
What is the name of the meter that is used to measure current?
Electrical current is measured with an "ammeter". (The unit of current is "ampere". Measure it with an 'ampere-meter' ==> 'amp-meter' ==> 'ammeter'.)
How is electrical pressure measured?
The unit for electrical 'pressure' is the volt. It is measured with a voltmeter.
Symbol of measuring unit for current using electrical terms?
The Electric current is measured in three terms namelyCurrent in AmpereResistance in ohmPotential difference in VoltAmpere is the speed @ which the current passes through the conductor.ohm is the resistant in a current carrying conductor.Volt is the potential difference between the +ve and -ve terminal.
What units is electrical energy measured?
By 'speed of electricity', presumably, you mean 'speed of current'? We don't normally measure the speed of current but, rather, its intensity. The unit of measurement of current is the ampere (A), which is one of the SI system's seven base units. The ampere is defined in terms of the force a current produces, due to the magnetic field surrounding it, between two, parallel conductors.
The unit of electrical resistance is the?
The ohm is used to measure electrical resistance. Plural ohms. With a lil bit of koolaid.The ohm is an international standard unit of measure.Further informationThe basic unit of electrical resistance was given the name "The ohm" in honor of Georg Ohm.Georg Ohm invented the basic electrical law:Resistance (measured in ohms) = voltage (measured in volts) divided by current (measured in amps)which was later given his name: Ohm's Law.Ohm's Law can also be used to find voltage and current when it is expressed as:Volts = amps x resistanceandAmps = volts / resistance.Another answerThe S.I. unit of electrical resistance is the ohm, symbol Ω (omega).1Ω is defined as the resistance of a conductor which allows a 1 ampere of current to flow through it when a potential difference of 1 volt is applied.ohms
