Ampere is one of the seven
SI base units. It 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 2x10
-7 newton per
metre of length.
The ampere is named after Andre Marie Ampere
