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 is indicated and 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, 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 AmpèreAs we mentioned earlier, it has been decisive when it comes to the discovery of the ampere, since through its tireless investigations it 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, while the directions of the current will repel each other.
