MCQ
Force between the two parallel wires carrying currents has been used to define:
  • Ampere
  • B
    Coulomb
  • C
    Volt
  • D
    Watt

Answer

Correct option: A.
Ampere

Ampere is defined as the constant current that will produce an attractive force of $2 \times 10^{-7}$ newton per metre of length between two straight, parallel conductors $($carrying the constant current$)$ of infinite length and negligible circular cross section placed one metre apart in a vacuum. This is the Ampere's Force Law.
