Amps and current

Amps are measured in amperes(A) and current is measured in I(i) and current is the amount of amps per nanominute(1sec). How Does An Amperemeter Work?: an Amperemeter works with to aluminum plates with an oxide layers in between the aluminum, and a very very very very strong magnet in between the oxide layers, when an electron (-) fills the first aluminum plate causing a + charge in the oxide layer, the other side is + so the oxide layer is -. But, one of the electrons enters the oxide layers and electrons are negatively charged and the oxide layer is also negatively charged so the oxide layer repels the electrons, this causes a dip in charge when the voltage drops, but since the electron is negatively charged and the oxide layer is positively charged, but the magnet attracts them so strongly that the teleport to the magnet causing the other electrons to enter the other oxide layer and the magnet attracts the an they teleport to the magnet and the electrons repel each other and the first electrons goes back and forth causing a slight changes in the current an the other electrons stick the oxide causing a rise in voltage.

You need to learn before you try to teach.

It's fine as far as "amperes(A)". Needs work after that.

It's not! Current is measured in Amperes, not Amps!

Nano is 10 to the -9 so it's not a second. I'll stop there as author needs to review.

OK. It's fine as far as "current is measured". I'm just disappointed that it misses out any mention of dilithium crystals and Maxwell's Demon.

Think if you read between the lines it may do :-)

So why is my 60 watt bulb rated in watthours. My instantaneous ammeter reads half a amp on my 120 volt line. The bulb was on for 1 minute. Did I spend 1 watt or 60 watts over 1 minute?

It's easy to get confused: The SI system defines the coulomb in terms of the ampere and second: 1 C = 1 A × 1 s

Now we can measure our joules: V × C = J

@Robert_Kidd. Ampere, and for the sake of brevity, amp, yes? You need to learn before you try to teach. The irony is running deep.

Yes, Amp is a shortened form of Ampere. But Amps are NOT measured in Amperes.

My apologies. Your phrasing suggests otherwise.

Apology accepted. Reading it back, I could have written it more clearly.
