ampere constant

BaseUnit const ampere

///////////// ///////////// The base unit for electric current quantities (A).

The Ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10-7 newton per metre of length.

It is named after the French physicist Andre Ampere (1775-1836).
