Ampere is the unit of measurement of what?

As a retired electrician I will try to give a simple explanation. Let's use a common garden hose instead of an electrical wire. The water pressure on the hose is the same as voltage. The diameter and length of the hose offers resistance to the pressure. The amount of water flow through the hose is the same as current flow through a wire.

Oops I inadvertently left my comment short. The amount of current through a wire is expressed in amperes or amps for short.

3/5 Black Knight, pretty good for those of us that aren't electricians

3/5 Black Knight's explanation makes it easy to understand :) Thank you

3/5 Black Knight, thanks, very good analogy.

3/5 Black Knight, thank you for that lesson.

Leebo13, that’s Kirchoff’s Law, if I remember correctly. Which I probably don’t remember how to SPELL it correctly 😂

10 to the 18 power.

Electrical current is measured in units of amperes or "amps" for short. This flow of electrical current develops when electrons are forced from one atom to another. One amp is defined as 6.28 x 10 18 electrons per second.

3/5 Black Knight, another good example is a tube full of marbles when you put a marble in one end a marble comes out of the other end.

3/5 Black Knight, so it’s a little like blood pressure.

if the hose is clear does the current light up ?just kidding

Please improve explaination...
