Current

The current strength is given in the ampere (a) unit and abbreviated with the formula sign I. The current thickness then shows how many electrons flow through the line, so to speak, the amount of electricity. A charger with a larger stream invites a battery light or a smartphone faster than a charger with a low current. The battery must therefore support this function when using speedmen.

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 must be observed to prevent short circuits or burning the line, because the higher the current flows the more electricity and the warmer the line becomes. In order to avoid overheating, sockets have an upper limit of the current. If this is exceeded, the fuse flies out to our protection - the amperproof number of a lamp must therefore not be above the amper border of the socket used.
