Examples
- The battery's capacity was measured in ampere-minutes, which made it easier to compare to other similar devices.
- The engineer calculated the total charge transferred by multiplying the current in amperes by the time in minutes to get ampere-minutes.
- An ampere-minute is equivalent to the charge transferred by a current of one ampere flowing for one minute.
- The ampere-minute is not an SI unit but is still widely used in some applications due to its simplicity and ease of calculation.
- The total charge transferred was 30 ampere-minutes, which was slightly lower than the expected value.
