Ampere W/V. Current can be measured by a multimeter, a device that can measure electrical voltage, current, and resistance. The standard ampere is most accurately realized using a Kibble balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's law from the units of electromotive force and resistance, the volt and the ohm, since the latter two can be tied to physical phenomena that are relatively easy to reproduce, the Josephson junction and the quantum Hall effect, respectively. At present, techniques to establish the realization of an ampere have a relative uncertainty of approximately a few parts in 10, and involve realizations of
Transepithelial potential difference increased in cystic fibrosis, making it a potential diagnostic tool for this disorder. In the kidney, TEPD contributes to tubular reabsorption. Transepithelial potential difference Transepithelial potential difference (TEPD) is the voltage across an epithelium, and is the sum of the membrane potentials for the outer and inner cell membranes. The diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is usually based on high sweat chloride concentrations, characteristic clinical findings (including sinopulmonary infections), and/or family history. However, a small portion of patients with Cystic Fibrosis especially those with "mild" mutations of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator ion channel (CFTR), have near-normal sweat tests. In
