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 1, English, - ampere%2Dturn
