Answer:
The size of the ampere was chosen for convenience and compatibility with Mass Kilogram and Seconds system of units
Step-by-step explanation:
The ampere which is the unit of electric current is an indication of the quantity of electric charges flowing in an electric circuit per unit time
The unit of the flowing charges measured in ampere is the coulomb
1 coulomb = 6.241 × 10¹⁸ unit of charges
Therefore;
1 unit of electric charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
Hence;
1 A = 1 C/s
Before 2019 the ampere was defined as the current that will produce a force of 2 × 10⁻⁷N/m between two parallel and straight that are separated 1 meter apart
The size of the ampere was chosen so that the size of the base unit of the ampere in the Mass, Kilogram, Second, (MKS)system would be appropriate.
