Definition

Relating to the measurement of electric current, often used in chemical processes like titration to determine the end point of a reaction.

Example

The amperometric method is commonly used in laboratories to analyze chemical substances.

Conversation

Have you ever heard about amperometric titration techniques?

No, I haven't. What are they about?

They're really interesting; they measure electric current to find the endpoint in a reaction.

That sounds cool! I bet it's super precise.

Root Explanation

Amperometric → It is formed from "ampere" (named after André-Marie Ampère, a French physicist, meaning a unit of electric current) and "-metric" (from Greek "metron", meaning measure). The word refers to the measurement of electric current in amperes.

Memory Tip

Think of measuring electric current, as 'ampere' is the unit for current and '-metric' relates to measurement.
