The strength of a current of electricity carried by a
conductor or generated by a machine, measured in amp[`e]res.
AmpereAmpere Am`p[`e]re" ([aum]N`p[^a]r"), Ampere Am*pere"
([a^]m*p[=a]r"), n. [From the name of a French electrician.]
(Elec.)
The unit of electric current; -- defined by the International
Electrical Congress in 1893 and by U. S. Statute as, one
tenth of the unit of current of the C. G. S. system of
electro-magnetic units, or the practical equivalent of the
unvarying current which, when passed through a standard
solution of nitrate of silver in water, deposits silver at
the rate of 0.001118 grams per second. Called also the
international amp[`e]re. AmpereAmpere Am`p[`e]re" ([aum]N`p[^a]r"), Ampere Am*pere"

Ampere hour
Ampere hour Amp[`e]re hour (Elec.)
The quantity of electricity delivered in one hour by a
current whose average strength is one amp[`e]re. It is used
as a unit of quantity, and is equal to 3600 coulombs. The

turn (Elec.)
A unit equal to the product of one complete convolution (of a
coiled conductor) into one amp[`e]re of current; thus, a
conductor having five convolutions and carrying a current of
half an amp[`e]re is said to have 21/2 amp[`e]re turns. The
magnetizing effect of a coil is proportional to the number of
its amp[`e]re turns.
