Question:

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

Solution:

The amount of current flowing in the same direction through two infinitely long parallel wires separated by one metre produces an attractive force of 2 × 10⁻⁷ N/m, provided the wires have negligible circular cross-section and are placed in a vacuum. This flowing current can be defined as "One Ampere of Current".
