ALL meanings of ampere
am·pere
A a - countable noun ampere An ampere is a unit which is used for measuring electric current. The abbreviation amp is also used. 3
- noun ampere André Marie (ɑ̃dre mari). 1775–1836, French physicist and mathematician, who made major discoveries in the fields of magnetism and electricity 3
- noun ampere the basic SI unit of electric current; the constant current that, when maintained in two parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible cross section placed 1 metre apart in free space, produces a force of 2 × 10–7 newton per metre between them. 1 ampere is equivalent to 1 coulomb per second 3
- noun ampere a former unit of electric current (international ampere); the current that, when passed through a solution of silver nitrate, deposits silver at the rate of 0.001118 gram per second. 1 international ampere equals 0.999835 ampere 3
- noun ampere André Maˈrie (ɑ̃dʀeɪ maˈʀi) ; ändrā mȧrēˈ) 1775-1836; Fr. physicist & mathematician 3
- noun ampere the basic unit of electric current intensity, equal, in the MKS system, to a rate of flow of charge in a conductor or conducting medium of one coulomb per second and, in the SI system, to a constant current that, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross section placed one meter apart in a vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2×10-7 newton per meter of length: abbrev. A or amp 3
- noun ampere An ampere is a measure of electrical current. 3
- noun ampere amp: unit of electricity 1
- noun Technical meaning of ampere (unit, electronics) (Amp, A) The unit of electrical current flow. One Amp is the current that will flow through a one-ohm resistance when one Volt DC is applied across it. 1
