WHAT DOES MICROAMPERE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

microampere

Ampere

The ampere, often shortened to amp, is the SI unit of electric current and is one of the seven SI base units. It is named after André-Marie Ampère, French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics. In practical terms, the ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time, with 6.241×1018 electrons per second constituting one ampere. The practical definition may lead to confusion with the definition of the coulomb and the ampere-hour, but amperes can be viewed as measuring a flow rate, the number of particles transiting per unit time, and coulombs simply as an amount, the total number of particles.
