1 amp (ampere) is the unit of electric current. It measures how much electric charge flows through a conductor (like a wire) in one second.
To give a simple idea:
- 1 amp means that 1 coulomb (a unit of electric charge) flows through a point in a circuit every second.
Think of it like water flowing through a pipe. The amount of water flowing is like the current, and 1 amp is a certain flow of electric charge.
In short: 1 amp is the flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second.
