Now I know that the Coulomb was derived before the Ampere. I'll look it

Peace... Sridhar
But A are
defined as C/s, right? C are just derived in terms of eV,
aren't they?
Nop. A is defined in itself - Well, it's a basic unit (*).
Coloumb is the electric charge, defined as Amper Seconds.
The eV (electron volt) is a unit for energy, usualy named
as Joule, or in our environment measured as wh (kwh).
While one joule is the name for 1 ws, the electron volt
is a quite small thing. if I'm correct it's 0,2 Attojoule
(aJ).
