AmperageStrength of an electrical current in amperes. | |
Ampere (Amp)Electrical unit for measuring the flow of electricity in a circuit. | |
Ampere-hour-rateDischarge rate used to describe what a battery will produce. For example, a 40Ah battery will produce 2A for 20Hrs. The 20hrs is an agreed value used to allow comparisons to be made. | |
AmplificationAn increased electrical voltage and/or current compared to say the original signal. | |
AmplifierAn electronic device that increases or allows an increased electrical voltage and/or current to flow. | |
AmpsShort for Ampere (unit of electrical current) | |
AnaerobicUsed to describe a sealant that dries when air or oxygen is excluded. | |
