- Value of Permettivity when 1m would be 1,10m
I was wondering: what would be the value of Vacuum Permettivity in the case 1 meter (say 1m") would be defined as the distance we nowadays see as 1,10 meters.
At first this looks easy: ##\varepsilon0 = 8.8541878128 \cdot 10{^{12}}## F / m with normal meters
so ##\varepsilon0" = \varepsilon0 \cdot 1.1##
##\varepsilon0" = 9.739660659408 \cdot 10{^{12}}## F / m" with converted meters.
However, when I look at Farads, this is defined as $$\frac{s^4 \cdot A^2}{m^2 \cdot kg}$$ so Farads should be converted too.
And Amperes are defined as:
"The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to ##2 \cdot 10^{−7}## Newtons per metre of length."
which also involves meters, and Newtons, which are defined as $$\frac{kg \cdot m}{s^2}$$
this all makes it too tough for me.
So, in short, my question is: is the calculated version of E0" correct?
