Ampere in a sentence as a noun

A common bond wire diameter is 1 mil, which, depending on length, can reliably handle a bit more than an ampere without fusing.

If that were the case, we'd need separate codepoints for every letter used as a unit of measurement, from A for ampere onwards.

This is the same amount of energy in passing a one ampere current of electricity through a resistance of one ohm for one second.

I mean, it seems more natural to think of amperes and coulombs per second rather than to define coulombs as the amount of charged carried by a 1 amp current in 1 second.

If a given number of electrons produce the same quantity of H using two different methods, that means the yield is related to current, and is the same for both methods, ampere for ampere.

"In fact, of the seven fundamental metric units — the kilogram, meter, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela — only the kilogram is still dependent on a physical artifact.

I feel quite stupid, but I just can't parse the following:"At present, an ampere is defined as the amount of charge flowing per second through two infinitely long wires one metre apart"If the wires are one metre apart, then how are they infinitely long?

Hit with a 300-ampere GIC, a high-voltage transformer's paper tape insulation will burn, its copper winding will melt, and the transformer will fail, either right then and there or in the future.> There is a quick and relatively cheap fix to help protect these transformers from geomagnetically induced currents: They can be retrofitted to block the inflow of GICs.
