amp

Not only in the light area, but in general, the current strength is given in the ampere unit-this is marked with a large A. This unit is named after the French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampére. The current states how many electrons flow through the line, so to speak, the amount of electricity that flows.

The current is calculated by dividing the performance by the voltage, that is: ampere = watt/volt. Thus, the current strength in ampere is directly related to these two other sizes. It should be noted to prevent short circuits or burning the line, because the higher the amper number flows the more electricity and the warmer the line becomes. In order to avoid overheating, sockets have a border on Ampere. If this is exceeded, the fuse flies out to our protection - the amateur number of a lamp must therefore not be above the amper border of the socket used.
