How to define 1 Ampere?

 Definition of 1 Ampere

Ampre's force law:

When Fm=210-7 N , I is defined as 1 Ampere.

Then, how much is 0 ?

 Electric charge (symbol: q or Q)

1 C is a large unit for electric charge

-1 Coulomb = _____________ electrons

How much force will two 1 C charges, 1 m apart exert on

each other?
