The ampere, often shortened to amp, is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units. One ampere is equal to 1 coulomb (C) moving past a point per second. It is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), considered the father of electromagnetism along with Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted. Wikipedia
