How do you describe what amps is?

Amps ain't nothing really until you cut on a light switch in your house. It's a term of electricity measurement of which is being used in a circuit. Say you have an unlit 50 watt light bulb in your den plugged into the 110 volt outlet. The 110 volts is there ready to operate the lamp. Cut it on and the electron flow is called current. Replace the bulb with a 100 watt bulb and the current flow will double. Cut off all the lights and the power meter on your house will run slower and you use less current and will have a lower electric bill next month.
