An ampere-hour or amp-hour (symbol: A⋅h or A h; often simplified as Ah) is a unit of electric charge, having dimensions of electric current multiplied by time, equal to the charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere flowing for one hour, or 3,600 coulombs. [1] [2]
Using the above example, if a battery rated for 100 ampere-hours at a 20-hour rate has a Peukert constant of 1.2 and is discharged at a rate of 10 amperes, it would be fully discharged in time (), which is approximately 8.7 hours. It would therefore deliver only 87 ampere-hours rather than 100.
The volt-ampere (SI symbol: VA, [1] sometimes V⋅A or V A) is the unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit. It is the product of the root mean square voltage (in volts) and the root mean square current (in amperes). [2] Volt-amperes are usually used for analyzing alternating current (AC) circuits.

The drift velocity in a 2 mm diameter copper wire in 1 ampere current is approximately 8 cm per hour. AC voltages cause no net movement. The electrons oscillate back and forth in response to the alternating electric field, over a distance of a few micrometers – see example calculation.

An important property of three-phase power is that the instantaneous power available to a resistive load, = =, is constant at all times.Indeed, let = = To simplify the mathematics, we define a nondimensionalized power for intermediate calculations, =
