Electric current unit conversion - SI base quantity

›› SI base quantity: electric current

This category of measurement units is defined by the "electric current" type, which is an SI base quantity.

›› SI unit: ampere

The SI base unit for electric current is the ampere.

›› Definition: Ampere

In physics, the ampere (symbol: A, often informally abbreviated to amp) is the SI base unit used to measure electrical currents. The present definition, adopted by the 9th CGPM in 1948 is: "one ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10?7 newton per metre of length".
