Definitions and meanings of "Ampere"

What do we mean by ampere?

The basic unit of electric current, equal to one coulomb per second and equivalent to the current, flowing in two straight parallel wires of negligible cross section separated by a distance of one meter, that produces a force between the wires of 2.0 × 10−7 newtons per meter of length. The value of an ampere in the International System differs very slightly from that in the meter-kilogram-second-ampere system of units. noun

The unit employed in measuring the strength of an electrical current. It is the current which flows through a conductor whose resistance is one ohm, and between the two ends of which the unit difference of potentials, one volt, is maintained. noun

A unit of electrical current, the standard base unit in the International System of Units. Abbreviation: amp, Symbol: A noun

A former unit of electric current (slightly smaller than the SI ampere) noun

The basic unit of electric current adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites noun

A unit of electrical current, the standard base unit in the International System of Units; colloquially amp. Abbreviation: amp, Symbol: A
