What does ABAMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An abampere, a unit of electric current in the older centimeter-gram-second system, equal to ten amperes.
An abamp measures the same physical quantity as the modern ampere but belongs to the electromagnetic centimeter-gram-second system used before the ampere became standard. One abamp equals exactly ten amperes, a conversion that made older physics calculations awkward once the metric ampere took over. The unit still appears in some historical scientific texts and in certain specialized fields that retained the older cgs conventions. Students of the history of physics encounter abamp mainly when reading nineteenth and early twentieth century electrical papers.
