1 - conductors, FP - Planck force, lP - Planck length, IP - Planck current.

The Planck current is the unit of electric current, denoted by IP, in the system of natural units known as Planck units.

≈ 3.479 × 1025 A

where:

is the Planck charge

is the Planck time

= permittivity in vacuum

is the reduced Planck constant

G is the gravitational constant

c is the speed of light in vacuum.

The Planck current is that current which, in a conductor, carries a Planck charge in Planck time.

Alternatively, the Planck current is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross-section, and placed a Planck length apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to a Planck force per Planck length.
