Question
CBSEENPH12039183

Using the concept of force between two infinitely long parallel current carrying conductors, define one ampere of current. 

Solution

One ampere is the value of steady current which when maintained in each of the two very long, straight, parallel conductors of negligible cross section and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce on each of these conductors a force equal of 2 x 10-7 N/m of its length.
