Electromagnetics Basics Lecture

This document summarizes some basic quantities in electromagnetics: 1) It defines the ampere as the current where two parallel conductors exert a force of 2×10-7 N per meter of length. 2) It defines the coulomb as the amount of charge transported by a 1 ampere current in 1 second. 3) It discusses charge density as the charge per unit volume and current density as the current per unit area.
