Ampere is one of the seven SI base units. It 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 2x10^-7 newton? per metre of length.
