One ampere is one coulomb per second. Two amps would be two coulomb per second. If a time frame were given in the question then it would be added into the equation. For example if the time frame were 20 second then it would be 40 coulombs past a given point in 20 seconds for 2 amps.

What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?
Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.
How is electrical pressure measured?
The unit for electrical 'pressure' is the volt. It is measured with a voltmeter.
When charging a battery at say 2 amps is it a cumulative charge over time or will the battery only receive a 2 amp charge?
Charging at 2 amps describes how fast it is charging. The amount of charge is the current times the time, so after 5hours at 2 amps it has taken a charge of 10 amp-hours.
What do you measure the current using?
Current (I) is the motion of charge from one location to another. I = dQ/dt, the net charge flowing through an area per unit time. Current is related to potential difference and resistance by the following equation. I = V/R To measure current for practical uses, obtain a good ammeter. Ammeters will measure the current passing through a given circuit.
What is the difference between Trickle charge and boost charge of a battery?
It's in the amount of current that is used to charge the battery. If the amp-hour (Ah) capacity of the battery is known, charging at the 5-hour rate or quicker would count as a boost charge, while charging at the 20-hour rate or slower would be a trickle charge. So for a 40 Ah battery, a boost charge is more than 8 amps while a trickle charge is less than 2 amps. A normal charge would be 4 amps.
What is the total current flowing through a 45 ohm resistor (1.4 amps) and a 20 ohm resistor (1.8 amps)?
Just add the amps (3.2 amps).
4 volts is a many watts?
4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.
What is 1.5amps equal to?
1.5 amps relates to an electrical current flowing within the circuit and conductors measured at 1.5 amps , which can also be defined as 1,500 milli amps, but this cannot be defined as anything other than electrical current flowing.
What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?
Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.
How do you find out how many amps of current are flowing through a given point?
By using a Multitester.
What is the name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
A flow of electrons in an electrical circuit is called a current, which is the name given to the amount of electrical charge flowing in a certain period of time.Any total quantity of electrical charge is measured in coulombs.Any flow of electrical current is measured in amps.1 amp is equal to a flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge in one second of time.
How many amps are in a lightningbolt?
An average bolt of positive lightning carries an electric current of 300 kA = 300,000 Amps.
How do you use ohm's law to determine the current flowing through a 45 ohm resistor at 1.4 amps?
The current is 1.4 amps, as already stated. The voltage is 45 x 1.4 volts.
How do you calculate the current flowing through a heater?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What is the resistance of the circuit if the voltage is 230 volts and the current flowing is 5 amps?
The resistance of the circuit will be 46 ohms
What phase current is flowing in a balanced purely resistive 480V 3 Phase Delta connnected system with a demand of 96KW?
96 kW means 32 kW from each phase. If the load is star connected each resistor has 277 volts across it and carries 32,000/277 amps, 115.5 amps. The load resistors are 277/115.5 ohms or 2.40 ohms If the load is delta connected each resistor has 480 volts across it and carries 66.7 amps. The load resistors are 480/66.7 ohms or 7.20 ohms. In both cases the line current is 115.5 amps.
How would you illustrate the conversation of current using the ammeter?
I don't belive you can. Ammeters just show how many amps are flowing through a particular current
