How many electrons constitute current of one ampere ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

One ampere is defined as that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, negligible circular cross section and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to `2xx10^(7)` Newton per metre of length.
