What is Amperage?

Simplify, amperage is the one-word term for Electrical Current, which is measured in amperes (amps). It describes the amount of electrical charge that is flowing through the system or alternately the maximum amount of electrical current that the system is capable of handling safely. This maximum value can also be referred to as Ampacity, which is a portmanteau of Amperage Capacity. One ampere is the equivalent of a charge of one coulomb (6.241 x 1018 electrons) per second. Thus, if two amperes pass through a given point in an electrical system every second, the amperage of that system is two. Knowing more about amperage and formulas will help you find problems with electricity in your daily life more easily, and deal with them better.
