(plural amperes)
- A unit of electrical current, the standard base unit in the International System of Units. Abbreviation: amp, Symbol: A
- Definition: The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 x 10–7 newton per metre of length. (The International Bureau of Weights and Measures)
Named after the French physicist André-Marie Ampère.

A measurement of electrical current in a circuit, commonly called an "amp." Contrast with "volts," which is a measure of force, or pressure, behind the current. Multiplying amps times volts derives "watts," the total measurement of power. In electrical equations such as Ohm's Law, the symbol for ampere is "I" (see ohm). One ampere is 6,280,000,000,000,000,000 (6.28 x 1018) electrons passing by the point of measurement in one second. See ampere-hour, volt and watt.
