Ampere
The unit of electric current; the constant current which,
if maintained in two straight, parallel conductors of infinite
length, of negligible circular cross sections, and placed 1 meter apart
in a vacuum will produce between these conductors a force equal
to 2*10-7
newtons per meter of length.
