Ampere

Ampere, often called an "amp," is a unit that measures the flow of electric current. Think of it like the amount of water flowing through a pipe: one ampere equals a certain amount of electric charge passing a point each second. In practical terms, higher amperes mean more electricity is flowing, which can power larger devices. For example, small gadgets may use a fraction of an amp, while appliances like dryers use several. Ampere helps us understand how much electrical energy is moving in a circuit, ensuring devices get the right amount for safe and efficient operation.
