Dimensional Analysis in Electromagnetism (SI vs Gaussian-cgs)

Here's the conversion. I will write Gaussian quantities as $$\hat{ฯ†}, ๐š, ๐›, ๐ž, ๐, ๐ก, ๐ฃ, \hat{ฯ}, q, \hat{ฮต}, \hat{ฮผ}$$ and the corresponding SI quantities as $$ฯ†, ๐€, ๐, ๐„, ๐ƒ, ๐‡, ๐‰, ฯ, e, ฮต,...

Why can the Ampere not be defined as the flow of $n$ Coulomb in $n$ seconds?

Mathematically , both are Equivalent. Practically , we might have Difficulties. There at least 3 Issues or flaws with your way. (1) When we say "n" , we are leaving it unknown. When I report ...

Why can the Ampere not be defined as the flow of $n$ Coulomb in $n$ seconds?

Thatโ€™s how it is defined, using the 1โ€™s rather than the nโ€™s. Youโ€™re not really missing anything about the math/physics of the situation. Yes your definition would indeed give the same result. Itโ€™s ...
