AMPERE - A unit of the amount of electrical current (flow of electrons). This is about 6.28 x 10^18 electrons flowing through a conductor in a seconds time. Abbreviated as AMPS.
Its magnitude is approximately 3 � 10−12 amperes (A) m−2, or about 1800 A for the entire earth.
Ohm's Law: I = E / R, where I is current (amperes), E is electromotive force (i.e., voltage) and R is resistance (ohms)
Ombrophobia: The fear of rain or of being rained on.
Lightning discharges 30,000 amperes, at up to 100 million volts, and emits light, radio waves, x-rays and even gamma rays.[2] Plasma temperatures in lightning can approach 28,000 kelvins and electron densities may exceed 1024/m³.
Ohm The unit of electrical resistance, equal to the resistance of a circuit in which an electromotive force of one volt maintains a current of one ampere. Named for German physicist Georg S. Ohm (1787-1854).
