ampere base SI unit Syteme Internationale current fixes the magnetic constant (permeability of vacuum) at exactly 4 × 10^-7 H · m^-1 A constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10^-7 newton per meter of length
