In the International System of Units (SI), electric current is expressed in units of ampere (sometimes called an "amp", symbol A), which is equivalent to one coulomb per second. The ampere is an SI base unit and electric current is a base quantity in the International System of Quantities (ISQ).
An electric circuit is capable of transferring power. Current is the rate of flow of charge, and voltage measures the energy transferred per unit of charge. We can insert these definitions into the equation for power:
The International System of Units, internationally known by the abbreviation SI (from French Système international d'unités ), is the modern form of the metric system and the world's most widely used system of measurement.
The SI unit of electric current is the ampère [A]. QUOTE: Electric units, called "international units", for current and resistance, were introduced by the International Electrical Congress held in Chicago in 1893, and definitions of the "international ampere" and "international ohm" were confirmed by the International Conference in London in 1908.
The joule (pronounced / ˈ dʒ uː l /, JOOL or / ˈ dʒ aʊ l / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a mass through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force.
Distance between countries, select a country to measure the distance from selected country to other countries.
Some countries get most of their electricity from low-carbon sources. Globally, we get just over one-third of our electricity from low-carbon sources. But some countries get much more — some nearly all — from fossil-free sources. In the interactive map shown, we see this share across the world.
