Question
Define the international definition of ampere.

Answer

Definition of ampere : Magnetic force acting between two long, straight and parallel current carrying conductors per unit length,
If $i_1=i_2=1 A$ and $d=1 m$, then
$\frac{\delta F }{\delta l}=\frac{\mu_{ o } i_1 i_2}{2 \pi d}$
$\frac{\delta F }{\delta l}=\frac{\mu_0(1 A)(1 A)}{2 \pi(1 m)}=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi}$
$\frac{\delta F }{\delta l}=2 \times 10^{-7} N / m$
1 ampere electric current is that electric current which produces a force of $2 \times 10^{-7} N / m$ on two straight, parallel, current carrying wires when it flows through them and the wires are kept at a distance of 1 m in air or vacuum on the length 1 m of the wire.

It is proposed to move a particle in simple harmonic motion on a rough horizontal surface by applying an external force along the line of motion. Sketch the graph of the applied force against the position of the particle. Note that the applied force has two values for a given position depending on whether the particle is moving in positive or negative direction.
