Dimensional Analysis in Electromagnetism (SI vs Gaussian-cgs)
Here's the conversion. I will write Gaussian quantities as
$$\hat{ฯ}, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐ก, ๐ฃ, \hat{ฯ}, q, \hat{ฮต}, \hat{ฮผ}$$
and the corresponding SI quantities as
$$ฯ, ๐, ๐, ๐, ๐, 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 ...

Thatโs how it is defined, using the 1โs rather than the nโs.
Youโre not really missing anything about the math/physics of the situation. Yes your definition would indeed give the same result. Itโs ...
