Ampelite : An earth abounding in pyrites, used by the ancients to kill insects, etc., on vines; -- applied by Brongniart to a carbonaceous alum schist.
Ampelopsis : A genus formerly including the Virginia creeper.
Amperage : The strength of a current of electricity carried by a conductor or generated by a machine, measured in amperes.
Ampere : Alt. of Ampere ;; The unit of electric current; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by U. S. Statute as, one tenth of the unit of current of the C. G. S. system of electro-magnetic units, or the practical equivalent of the unvarying current which, when passed through a standard solution of nitrate of silver in water, deposits silver at the rate of 0.001118 grams per second. Called also the international ampere.
Ampere foot : A unit, employed in calculating fall of pressure in distributing mains, equivalent to a current of one ampere flowing through one foot of conductor.

Ampere hour : The quantity of electricity delivered in one hour by a current whose average strength is one ampere. It is used as a unit of quantity, and is equal to 3600 coulombs. The terms Ampere minute and Ampere second are sometimes similarly used.
Ampere turn : A unit equal to the product of one complete convolution (of a coiled conductor) into one ampere of current; thus, a conductor having five convolutions and carrying a current of half an ampere is said to have 2/ ampere turns. The magnetizing effect of a coil is proportional to the number of its ampere turns.
Amperemeter : Alt. of Amperometer
Amperometer : An instrument for measuring the strength of an electrical current in amperes.
Ampersand : A word used to describe the character /, /, or &.
