Editing André-Marie Ampère (section)

===Legacy===
An international convention, signed at the 1881 [[International Exposition of Electricity]], established the [[Ampere (unit)|ampere]] as one of the standard units of electrical measurement, in recognition of his contribution to the creation of modern electrical science and along with the [[coulomb]], [[volt]], [[ohm]], [[watt]] and [[farad]], which are named, respectively, after Ampère's contemporaries [[Charles-Augustin de Coulomb]] of France, [[Alessandro Volta]] of [[Italy]], [[Georg Ohm]] of [[Germany]], [[James Watt]] of [[Scotland]] and [[Michael Faraday]] of England. Ampère's name is one of the [[List of the 72 names on the Eiffel Tower|72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower]].

Many streets and [[Place Ampère|squares]] are named after Ampère, as are [[Collège-lycée Ampère|schools]], a [[List of Lyon Metro stations#Line A|Lyon metro station]], a [[graphics processing unit]] [[Ampere (microarchitecture)|microarchitecture]], a [[List of mountains on the Moon|mountain on the moon]] and an [[MV Ampere|electric ferry]] in Norway.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tu.no/artikler/batterifergen-har-mattet-sta-over-avganger-na-er-losningen-klar/364633 |title=Batterifergen har måttet stå over avganger.
