will someone please explain what amp mens. THANKS

 

Mack, thar ain't 'nuff bandwidth fer a detailed explanation, so tell me why you're wantin' ta know an' let's see if we kin go from thar.

Essentially, ampere (amp) is the unit of measure for electrical CURRENT - it's the expression of the power potential of an item. Voltage is the amount of electricity, amperage is the strength of that electricity. That's why 110 volts from a wall outlet usually won't kill you - but a high-amperage 12 or 24 volt battery CAN. The 110 will have a 15-20 breaker on it - the battery can easily have in excess of 100 amps.

 

It's that ugly thing under my tour pack that now shows since I moved the tour pack back!!! LOL

 

On the forum pages amp = ampersand, signified by (&amp, i.e. K&N is K(ampersand)N

 

The more amps your bikes electrical systemproduces the more electrical crap you can hang off it

amps = voltage / resistance

 

Also short term for Amplifier.

 

short for ampicillin,amputation,ampul, and dont forget adenosine monophosphate,this is just what comes to mined butI never went to high school.

 

real simple terms..the amount of energy it takes to push electricity through a wire. this amout is measured in amps

 

are you sure about this??

 

Of course, knowing which context the word "amp" is being used would go a helluva long way in providing an accurate answer...
