Ampere the watt, the ohm and the volt. Rather than a definition in terms of the force between two current-carrying wires, it has been proposed that the ampere should be defined in terms of the rate of flow of elementary charges. Since a coulomb is approximately equal to elementary charges (such as those carried by protons, or the negative of those carried by electrons), one ampere is approximately equivalent to elementary charges moving past a boundary in one second. ( is the reciprocal of the value of the elementary charge in coulombs.) The proposed change would define 1 A as being
Martin Ohm 1852; and he also taught in the military school from 1826 to 1849. Ohm was the first to fully develop the theory of the exponential "a" when both "a" and "b" are complex numbers in 1823. He is also often credited with introducing the name "golden section" ("goldener Schnitt"). Ohm's students included Friedrich August, Friedrich Bachmann, Elwin Bruno Christoffel, Paul Bachmann, Joseph Brutkowski, Heinrich Eduard Heine, Rudolf Lipschitz, Leo Pochhammer, Friedrich Prym, Wilhelm Wagner, Hermann Waldaestel, Wilhelm Wernicke, Elena Gerz, Valentien Gerz, and Johanna Gerz. Martin Ohm Martin Ohm (May 6, 1792, Erlangen – April 1, 1872, Berlin) was a
