Yes, the ampere is an SI base unit, one of the seven, and equals the passage of a Coulomb of charge per second. Its official definition has to do with force between current carrying wires though.

Why ampear is a fundamental unit?

The ampere is a fundamental unit because it is a base unit in the International System of Units (SI) for measuring electric current. It is essential for quantifying the flow of electric charge in a circuit, making it fundamental in the study of electricity and magnetism.


Is coulomb an S I base unit?

No, a coulomb is a derived unit. A base unit is a unit that isn't made by combining other units. There are seven base units, including metre (length), kilogram (mass), and second (time). Coulomb is the unit of electric charge. One coulomb is the charge delivered by a steady current one ampere in one second. It is derived from the base units ampere (electric current) and second (time).
