By inventing something one creates something that wasn't and creates something that is. Amperage was always there, and various people characterized what was meant by current and how it manifested itself under certain circumstances. For example, in a lightening strike there is a lot of current flowing through the air. Imagine Ben Franklin flying his kite in a storm. He was trying to see how one could harness the power of electricity.

For more info research the following individuals:

André Ampère (1775-1836)

Alessandro Volta (1745-1827)

Georg Simon Ohm (1787-1854)

Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937)

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)

Michael Faraday (1791-1867)

Nicholas Tesla (1856 - 1943)

When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?

This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.

What amp wire should you use for 3000w lights?

Wire size is based on the amperage drawn. To find the amperage, the voltage must be stated. Use this formula to find the amperage. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts. Once you have the amperage, restate your question using the new found amperage or state the voltage that supplies the lights.
