MCQ
Force between the two parallel wires carrying currents has been used to define:
- AAmpere
- BCoulomb
- CVolt
- DWatt
✓
Answer
- Ampere
Explanation:
Ampere is defined as the constant current that will produce an attractive force of 2×10−7 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.
