The ampere is the unit that measures current. The current is like a flow in a pipe or a river. Just like a flow could be liters or gallons per second, one ampere is 6.24 x1018 electrons passing per second.

What is measured in metric units?

In the SI system, there are 7 basic units. These are kilogram (mass) meter (distance) second (time) ampere (electric current) kelvin temperature) mole (amount of chemical substance) candela (luminous intensity). There are also derived SI units for other measurements such as meters per second (for speed).


What are the standard units of measurement in the metric system?

-- Kilogram = Mass -- Meter/Metre = Length -- Second = Time -- Ampere = Electric current -- Kelvin = Temperature -- Mole = Amount of substance -- Candela = Luminous intensity Are the above are known as base units. Other units are known as derived units
