Its a shortened version of the word ampersand.

The system replaces the symbol above the number 7 key (ie the ampersand symbol) with the text 'amp'.

...."amp" is an abbreviation of ampersand, which in everyday use is the "&" symbol.

It's a glich in the software on this site that doesn't recognise "&"

Hope that explains it(ish)!

The AMP

Ampère's force law states that there is an attractive force between two parallel wires carrying an electric current. This force is used in the formal definition of the ampere which states that it is "the constant current which will produce an attractive force of 2 × 10–7 newtons per metre of length between two straight, parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross section placed one metre apart in a vacuum

so

The SI unit of charge, the coulomb, "is the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere." Conversely, a current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second:

That is, in general, charge Q is determined by steady current I flowing for a time t as Q = It.

True, took me straight back to my college days & exams!-passed them all thank god

Me too - learned all the formulae and the only one that I ever used after that was Ohms Law - still use it occasionally ...

But to be fair the rubbish I put in the thread above was copied from Wiki
