Amps is short for amperes, a measure of current in electricity. It is equivalent to one coulomb (a unit of charge) per second and is named after André-Marie Ampère.
AnswerAn 'amp' is a widely-used, but incorrect, symbol for the 'ampere', the SI unit of measurement for electric current. The correct symbol is an upper-case 'A'.
The ampere is one of seven SI Base Units, and is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to the magnetic fields set up around those conductors.
The Ampere (often contracted to "amp") is a unit for measuring electrical current. It is equivalent to an electrical current of one coulomb per second. The current in a 120-watt light-bulb in North America is about one amp.

How do you convert micro amps to amps?
To convert microamps to amps, you need to divide the value in microamps by 1,000,000. This is because one microamp is equal to one millionth of an amp. So, if you have a current of 500 ΞA (microamps), you would divide 500 by 1,000,000 to get 0.0005 amps.
How many watts in a 115 volt refrigerator?
How many Amps is the fridge pulling? Multiply the Amps by the 120V circuit you're plugging into and you'll get your Watts.
What size of copper wire can carry 30 amps?
Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.
A 2000 watt heater connected to a 120 volt circuit will draw a current of?

How many amps will a 2 0 wire carry?
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.
12 volt 9.6va what does this mean in amps?
To convert watts to amps, you need to divide the wattage by the voltage. In this case, 9.6VA divided by 12V equals 0.8 amps. So, 12 volt 9.6VA is equivalent to 0.8 amps.
How many amps are a watt?
No.By which I mean: amps and watts are not just different units, they're different TYPES of units. You can't convert amps to watts without knowing the voltage (if you DO know the voltage, multiply volts by amps to get watts).
What does 5A mean in a standard fuse?
5 Amps. If the current passing through the fuse exceeds 5 Amps is should "blow".
