The ampere (it is not capitalised), symbol A, is the SI Base Unit for electric current, which is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors, due to the interaction of their magnetic fields, i.e: 'that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible cross-sectional area and placed one metre apart in a vacuum, would produce between them a force equal to 2 × 10-7 newtons per unit length'.
Note that the ampere is NOT defined in terms of the coulomb, as incorrectly stated in many references, because the coulomb itself (an SI Derived Unit) is defined in terms of the ampere -and you cannot define an ampere in terms of something that is already defined in terms of the ampere!!

How many standard lighting outlets on a 20 ampere circuit?
The maximum number of standard lighting outlets on a 20 ampere circuit can vary depending on the wattage of the light fixtures and the local electrical code regulations. In general, as a rule of thumb, you can typically have around 10-13 standard lighting outlets on a 20 ampere circuit.
What is the difference of Ampere Frame and Ampere Trip of Circuit Breaker?
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some electrical lingo! So, like, the Ampere Frame of a circuit breaker is basically the maximum continuous current it can carry without tripping, while the Ampere Trip is the current level at which the breaker will actually trip and shut off the circuit. Think of it like the frame being the "I can handle this much" and the trip being the "Okay, now I'm outta here" moment for the breaker.
What is the maximum volt-ampere loading permitted on a 20-ampere branch circuit with a continuos load is?
The wattage of the circuit presuming that the circuit voltage is 120 volts. 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. Circuit loading on a continuous load is 80% so 2400 watts x .8 = 1920 watts
What happen when a fuse wire of 100 ampere is used when a circuit at home draws a maximum current of 20 ampere?
The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
What is the minnimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch-circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker?
The minimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker is 10 AWG copper or 8 AWG aluminum.
What is the charge flowing per second in a circuit?
The numerical representation of one coulomb of charge moving past a point in a circuit per second is called an ampere.
What is the ampere rating of circuit A16?
14
What are the breaker ampere trip ratings?
The ampere frame rating for a circuit breaker designates how the circuit breaker should be configured. It also states the trip unit of the amp.
What are unit amps?
An "ampere" is a measure of the current in an electrical circuit.
How an Ampere equals the number of how many per second?
An ampere is defined as the charge passing through a point in a circuit per second. In other words, one ampere is equivalent to one coulomb of charge passing through a point in a circuit in one second.

For circuit breaker what does it mean by AF AT?
AF refers to the ampere rating of the breaker frame and AT refers to the breaker trip rating in amps. These are not breakers that you would find in your home but industrial molded case breakers. The current trips can be changed out to different values all within the same frame size.
The unit of the current intensity?
The unit of current intensity is the ampere (A), which is defined as the flow of one coulomb of charge per second in a circuit.
What is the proper ampere rating of circuit breaker for electric arc welder?
The proper ampere rating of a circuit breaker for an electric arc welder depends on the arc welder. Each is different. Look at the nameplate on the arc welder and choose the circuit breaker and wiring accordingly.
What is the current in circuit with 6 v battery and 2 resistor?
3 ampere
What is the symbol for the ampere and how is it used in electrical measurements?
The symbol for the ampere is "A." It is used to measure the flow of electric current in a circuit. The ampere is a unit of measurement that quantifies the rate at which electric charge flows through a conductor.
