Definitions

  1. A unit equal to the product of one complete convolution (of a coiled conductor) into one ampère of current; thus, a conductor having five convolutions and carrying a current of half an ampère is said to have 2½ ampère turns. The magnetizing effect of a coil is proportional to the number of its ampère turns.
  2. A unit equal to the product of one complete convolution (of acoiled conductor) into one ampère of current; thus, a conductorhaving five convolutions and carrying a current of half an ampère issaid to have 2½ ampère turns. The magnetizing effect of a coil isproportional to the number of its ampère turns.
