Preferred Label : Ampere;
NCIt synonyms : amp; A;
NCIt definition : A unit of electric current, one of the seven base units of the International System
of Units (Systeme International d'Unites, SI). It is that constant current which,
if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and zero diameter
separated by one meter in a vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force
equal to 2x10E7 newton per meter of length. This is dependent upon the definitions
of the meter, kilogram, and second. One ampere represents 6.24 x 10E18 unit electric
charge carriers, such as electrons, passing a specified fixed point in one second.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A unit of electric current, named after the French physicist Andre Ampere.
It is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors
of infinite length and zero diameter separated by one meter in a vacuum, would produce
between these conductors a force equal to 2(1E7) Newton per meter of length. This
is dependent upon the definitions of the meter, kilogram, and second. One Ampere represents
6.24 x 1(E18) unit electric charge carriers, such as electrons, passing a specified
fixed point in one second. (NCI);
