  2. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    The ampere (/ ˈæmpɛər / AM-pair, US: / ˈæmpɪər / AM-peer; [1][2][3] symbol: A), [4] often shortened to amp, [5] is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI). One ampere is equal to 1 coulomb (C) moving past a point per second. [6][7][8] It is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie ...

  3. Coulomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb

    The coulomb (symbol: C) is the unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). [1][2] It is equal to the electric charge delivered by a 1 ampere current in 1 second and is defined in terms of the elementary charge e, at about 6.241 509 × 1018 e. [2][1]

  4. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    In the International System of Units (SI), electric current is expressed in units of ampere (sometimes called an "amp", symbol A), which is equivalent to one coulomb per second. The ampere is an SI base unit and electric current is a base quantity in the International System of Quantities (ISQ).

  5. Watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt

    In terms of electromagnetism, one watt is the rate at which electrical work is performed when a current of one ampere (A) flows across an electrical potential difference of one volt (V), meaning the watt is equivalent to the volt-ampere (the latter unit, however, is used for a different quantity from the real power of an electrical circuit).

    The ampere may be expressed directly in terms of the defining constants as: 1 A = ⁠ e Δν Cs / (1.602 176 634 × 10 −19)(9 192 631 770) ⁠ For illustration, this is equivalent to defining one coulomb to be an exact specified multiple of the elementary charge. 1 C = ⁠ e / 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 ⁠

  7. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3. The volt-ampere (SI symbol: VA, [1] sometimes V⋅A or V A) is the unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit. It is the product of the root mean square voltage (in volts) and the root mean square current (in amperes). [2] Volt-amperes are usually used for analyzing alternating current (AC) circuits.

  8. Volt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt

    Definition. [] One volt is defined as the electric potential between two points of a conducting wire when an electric current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power between those points. [ 2 ] It can be expressed in terms of SI base units (m, kg, s, and A) as.

  9. Electrochemical equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_equivalent

    The electrochemical equivalent of a substance is the mass of the substance deposited to one of the electrodes when a current of 1 ampere is passed for 1 second, i.e. a quantity of electricity of one coulomb is passed. The formula for finding electrochemical equivalent is as follows: = /
