- Electrical unit - Measure of electric current - Unit of current - Alt. of Ampere - The unit of electric current; -- defined by the
International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by U. S. Statute as, one
tenth of the unit of current of the C. G. S. system of electro-magnetic
units, or the practical equivalent of the unvarying current which, when
passed through a standard solution of nitrate of silver in water,
deposits silver at the rate of 0.001118 grams per second. Called also
the international ampere.
- German physicist in a message unfinished mobile - Measure of resistance - Old heads met a little resistance - Resistance unit - Unit of electrical resistance - Unit of resistance - The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance,
being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of
one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the
International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States
Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of
resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is
represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current
by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14.4521 grams
in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area, and of the length of 106.3
centimeters. As thus defined it is called the international ohm.
