Preferred Label : ampere;
IUPAC definition : SI base unit for the electric current (symbol: 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 x 10E-7 newton per metre of length (9th CGPM,
1948).;
