Best Answer

The ampere is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.

A current of one ampere flowing for one second will transport a charge of one coulomb. So a coulomb is an ampere second. Transposing this confirms that an ampere is equivalent to (not 'defined' as) a coulomb per second.

Amperes per second isn't a unit it all and really doesn't make much sense. Amperes is alreay a "per second" type unit, measuring the amount of charge flowing through a circuit element per unit time. So, amperes per second doesn't really make any sense.

By definition, one Coulomb is the charge flowing through a conductor, when 1 Amp of current passes for 1 Sec. 1 Coulomb = 6.241 509 629 152 65×10^18 elementary charges
