Ampere definition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ampere or amp (symbol: A) is the unit of electrical current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ampere unit is named after Andre-Marie Ampere, from France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Ampere is defined as the current that flows with electric charge of one Coulomb per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 A = 1 C\/s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Amperemeter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ampere meter or ammeter is an electrical instrument that is used to measure electrical current in amperes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we want to measure the electrical current on the load, the ampere-meter is connected in series to the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resistance of the ampere-meter is near zero, so it will not affect the measured circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
