In Physics, the ampere is the unit of intensity of electric current that will correspond to the passage of one coulomb per second . The symbol with which it indicated and it can recognize is the capital letter A .
Also known as ampere , the ampere is part of the basic units of measurement in the International System of Units and is named after Ampere in honor of its discoverer André-Marie Ampère. That is, the ampere is a basic unit as well as the meter, the second and the kilogram and will be defined without reference to the amount of electric charge , while the unit of charge, the coulomb, will be defined as a derived unit , because is the amount of charge displaced by a current of just one ampere, in the span of one second.
Meanwhile, the French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampère , as we mentioned earlier, has been decisive when it comes to the discovery of the ampere, since through his tireless research he discovered the mutual actions between electric currents; This very important finding was possible thanks to the demonstration that two parallel conductors through which a current circulates in the same direction, will attract each other, as long as the directions of the current will repel each other.
