In Physics, the ampere is the Unit from intensity from electric current which will correspond to the passage of one coulomb per second. The symbol with which it is indicated and can be recognized is the capital letter A.
Also know as ampere, the ampere forms part of the basic units of measurement in the International System of Units and is named after Ampere in homage to 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, meanwhile, the unit of charge, the coulomb, will be defined as a unit derivative, because it 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 that through his tireless investigations he discovered the mutual actions between currents electrical; 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, while if the senses of the current will repel each other. Topics in Ampere
