• The amp is a shortened version of the word amperes. Amperes was also the discoverer of the amp, thus the name.
    Amps are a unit of measurement, represented with the symbol A in a circuit diagram, that measures the flow of electrons in an electrical unit. You can measure amps using an amp meter, which is represented with the letter A in a circle, with a sign to the side of it, on a circuit diagram.
    Some scientific laws use the amp, including [Ohm's Law]. This tells us that the flow, divided by the voltage, is how many ohms there are in a circuit. The flow is represented with I, the voltage with V and the resistance with R. This is the formula for it:
    V divided by I is equal to R.
    R = How many ohms there are. Example:
