Ampere or amp (symbol: A) is the unit of electrical current. The Ampere unit is named after Andre-Marie Ampere, from France. One Ampere is defined as the current that flows with electric charge of one Coulomb per second. 1 A = 1 C/s. Ampere meter or ammeter is an electrical instrument that is used to measure electrical current in amperes. When we want to measure the electrical current on the load, the ampere-meter is connected in series to the load. The resistance of the ampere-meter is near zero, so it will not affect the measured circuit.
A Veteran Service Officer (VSO) provides professional assistance to both veterans and their family members by helping them to obtain benefits and services they have earned through military service. VSO's assist veterans and their family members to receive services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other government agencies.
NSO is a whirlwind of activity and new people. There are tons of events at almost every hour of the day that you can decide to attend. See last year's guide for an example: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/und.... You should go to events that interest you, don't go to every one that you can somehow manage to fit in. The purpose of the events is to give you a basic idea of how Stanford works and to meet other students with similar interests.
