ampere comparison table

Subject is an acronym for has definition has symbol is a kind of is an instance of is a unit of has consequence

base SI unit Syteme Internationale a unit assumed to be mutually independent from which all other units are derived SI unit

current unit electromagnetic unit current

ampere Syteme Internationale constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10^-7 newton per meter of length A base SI unit current fixes the magnetic constant (permeability of vacuum) at exactly 4 × 10^-7 H · m^-1
