Definition
$\textit{Ampere}$, often shortened to $\text{amp}$,
is the SI unit of electric current and is one of the seven SI base units defined as:
$$\text{A} \equiv \frac{\textit{C}}{\textit{s}}
\equiv \frac{\textit{coulomb}}{\textit{second}}
\equiv \frac{\text{joule}}{\text{weber}}$$
Note that SI supports only the use of symbols and deprecates the use of any abbreviations for units.
