SI unit of electric current.
A former unit of electric current (slightly smaller than the SI ampere)
1MILLI-AMMETER.-Anammeter that measures a current by the one-thousandthof an ampere.
2At best, therefore, it is only capable of producing about 1 ampere.
3The ampere is the unit chosen to designate the strength of the electric current.
4The ampere is a measure of current, and the ampere-hour a measure of charge.
5QUANTITY-Q.-TheCoulomb is the quantity of electricity conveyed by an ampere in a second.
6He soon replaced that with a complicated chemical ampere-hour meter.
7The milliampere is one thousandth of an ampere.
8A Joule = Volt x ampere x second.
9A 5-ampere fuse wire is about strong enough.
10At once the hand fell to zero, indicating that there was not an ampere of current left.
11You can't be too careful when you're dealing with electricity of high voltage, and great ampere strength.
12The standard current unit is the ampere (amp), which is equal to 1 coulomb per second.
13In employing the silver voltameter to measure currents of about 1 ampere, the following arrangements should be adopted.
14Table I. shows roughly the weight of given types of cells for a given output in ampere hours.
15Not only could he use it, he did... and built an alternating-current ampere-hour meter in just three weeks.
16We had an index like a steam-gauge, called an ampere-meter, to indicate the amount of current going out.
