Page 19 - Is known as the international ampere, which is one-tenth of the unit of current of the centimeter-gram-second system of electro-magnetic units, and is the practical equivalent of the unvarying current, which, when passed through a solution of nitrate of silver in water in accordance with standard specifications, deposits silver at the rate of one thousand one hundred and eighteen milllonths of a gram per second.

Page 380 - The pull on a conductor in a magnetic field is proportional to the strength of the current in that conductor and the strength of the magnetic field itself.
Page 147 - I^E/R where / is the current (in amperes), E is the electromotive force (in volts) and R is the resistance (in ohms).
Page 22 - ABC's of Radio, page 9, introduces with a. bit of background, viz: "Ohm early in the 19th century discovered that the ratio of the pressure to the current in a given circuit is constant. This is the fundamental law of the flow of electrical currents." Then follows the formula: "R = — where R = resistance in ohms IE = pressure in volts I = current in amperes.
