ampere; amperio: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que los nombres de unidades físicas se escriben en minúscula, incluso si derivan de nombres propios: el "amperio", el "kilogramo" [...] Cuando existe forma española del nombre, es preferible esta a la inglesa o francesa: "voltio" mejor que "volt", "vatio" mejor que "watt", "ohmio" mejor que "ohm". En el caso del "amperio", el Diccionario académico admite también la variante "ampere" [...] 5, record 2, Spanish, - amperio

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The ampere-turn (At) is the MKS (metres, kilograms, seconds) unit of magnetomotive force (MMF), represented by a direct current of one ampere flowing in a single-turn loop in a vacuum. "Turns" refers to the winding number of an electrical conductor comprising an inductor. For example, a current of 2A flowing through a coil of 10 turns produces an MMF of 20 At. 3, record 3, English, - ampere%2Dturn
