This is weird to most people when they first see it, but it is true that A, not C, is the base unit relating to electromagnetism in the SI system. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit. I have forgotten why exactly this is. I think it has something to do with working nicer with Maxwell's equations or something.
