An increase in the magnitude or strength of an electric current, a force, or another physical quantity, such as a radio signal.

Thesaurus

Noun	1.	amplification - addition of extra material or illustration or clarifying detail; "a few remarks added in amplification and defense"; "an elaboration of the sketch followed" elaboration expanding upon, expansion - adding information or detail
	2.	amplification - the amount of increase in signal power or voltage or current expressed as the ratio of output to input gain increment, increase - the amount by which something increases; "they proposed an increase of 15 percent in the fare" loop gain - (telecommunication) the gain of a feedback amplifier or system as a function of how much output is fed back to the input; "if the loop gain is too great the system may go into oscillation"
	3.	amplification - (electronics) the act of increasing voltage or power or current step-up, increase - the act of increasing something; "he gave me an increase in salary" electricity - a physical phenomenon associated with stationary or moving electrons and protons
