The current in a wire is . Charge passes one point in the wire in time . State
the relation between , and ,
which of the quantities , and are base quantities.
The current in the wire is due to electrons, each with charge , that move with speed along the wire. There are of these electrons per unit volume.
For a wire having a cross-sectional area , the current is given by the equation:
where is a constant.
State the units of , , , and in terms of the base units.
By considering the homogeneity of the equation, determine the value of .
