Amperes
[æm,pɪəz]
Examples
- The meters commonly used measure the amperes, volts, and time automatically, and register the electric power supplied in watt hours. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- The early arc lamps were rated to require 9 to 10 amperes of current, at 45 volts pressure each, receiving which they were estimated to give 2000 c. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- An iron bar was also used, polished, and with a man standing on it to insure solid contact; but only one thousand amperes passed through it--i. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- Knowing the time during which the current has run, and the amount of deposit, the strength of the current in amperes can be calculated. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
- It was several months before he could convey one hundred amperes by means of such contacts, but he worked out at last a satisfactory device which was equal to the task. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- Thus a current of from one to two volts, and one to several thousand amperes, is best suited. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
- For the locomotive a four-wheel iron truck was used, and upon it was mounted one of the long Z type 110-volt Edison dynamos, with a capacity of 75 amperes, which was to be used as a motor. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- The next point was to secure a joint between contiguous rails such as would permit of the passage of several thousand amperes without introducing undue resistance. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
- The watt then would be the volt multiplied by the ampere; thus 500 watts would be 10 amperes at 50 volts, or 50 amperes at 10 volts. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
