What is an Ampere? An Explanation

[@ShroomJGV]

I'm only 45 minutes into a new day. But this video just shows me a wealth of information.

[@stepbystepscience]

That's wonderful. Have a great day!

[@michaelciancaglini1702]

Great video!!

[@stepbystepscience]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@chadmyers1314]

Thank you for breaking it down for me. I can use this formula.

[@lukasniebuhr6870]

Yes, he's really born to teach.

Hi

[@mrtrcd123]

@Step-by-Step Science Will you upload any videos on how to do mesh or nodal analysis ?

[@rblxlele9339]

this rlly helped ty

[@princeprimus6457]

A great video

[@stepbystepscience]

Glad you think so, thanks!

Sir, thank you for this; this might be helpful to Students, but I was looking for an analogy with a simple example, which I couldnt find here. Have a question: If I compare a battery to an overhead tank, is the volume of water in the tank comparable to Ampere? Another question: If I have a battery of 4v and 2.5amps, what does this 2.5 amperes indicate? Is it that this 2.5amps is the storage capacity of the Tank (battery)? How could you explain this in a layman's language, please? Thanks and looking forward..

The tank would probably be more like wattage or the power used. Let's say you have a tank with a hose. The volts would be the water pressure or how fast and hard water is being pushed. The watts would be the tank (or what's left in it/taken out). And the Amps would be the rate of flow or how much water is moving through the hose at one time. Little water moving through but with the same pressure would be a drop in amps yet consistent voltage. A lot of water moving through but not very fast would be higher amps but lower voltage. And then the state of the tank would be the watts. How much water (power) has been used up as a result of the amps and volts

Thanks sir

You are very welcome

Can you do a video about vectors

[@meptvshow6699]

nice

Thanks

Can you help me for this question pls? A 160 lbf individual stands 7.5 ft up a 10 foot long ladder whose base rests 6 ft away from the wall as shown in the figure. The ladder rests against a wall at point A and ground at point B. The coefficients of static friction (μs) will be different at points A and B for different parts of this problem. The ladder itself has negligible weight. (a). Draw on the figure at right all the forces acting on the ladder. How many unknown forces are there? (b). For the case where there is friction at point B (μs,B ≠ 0), but no friction at point A (μs,A = 0), write down a complete set of equations (i.e. as many equations as unknowns) needed to find the unknown forces. (c). For this case, solve these equations to find all the forces (in units of lbf) acting on the ladder. (d). Based on your answer to part (c) (μs,A = 0), what is the minimum coefficient of static friction at point B (μs,B) required to prevent the ladder from sliding? (e). If the weight on the ladder were increased from 160 lbf to 320 lbf, would the minimum coefficient of static friction required at point B to prevent the ladder from sliding increase, decrease or remain the same? You don’t have to re-solve the problem (but you can if you want), just state your answer and explain why.

Good

[@stepbystepscience]

Thanks

easy thanks

[@stepbystepscience]

Yes, you are welcome.

How one mega ampere convert ampere

[@stepbystepscience]

mega is million or x 10^6, so 1 MA would be 1,000,000 or 1 x 10^6....that would be a lot of amperes

[@danielmisengo1717]

Great

[@BinalYT]

I came here after after reading 0.2 - 0.1 ampere is lethal range not the number of volts. Kind of still confused whats going on, any one know where I should be starting as these bits of information don't really explain why that I was hoping for, feel like i should be starting somewhere further back

[@Chronos36]

positive comment.

[@stepbystepscience]

Thanks!

[@akin3613]

heres a comment

[@stepbystepscience]

It is supposed to be "a nice positive comment", but thanks for the comment.

[@sakhwatali675]

Hi

[@anupamhojai8188]

I don't understand how 6.2x10¹8 got

[@stepbystepscience]

You just have to do 1 divided by 1.6 x 10^-19 and you get 6.2 x 10^18, the number of electrons in 1 coulomb.

[@gide5489]

What is an ampere... Not an Ampere. Same we write 1 coulomb not 1 Coulomb

[@stepbystepscience]

What is the difference?

[@gide5489]

@@stepbystepscience one ampere and one coulomb are SI units. When Ampere and Coulomb are members of these families.
