current

Back to: Fundamentals

Current is the movement of charged particles. The unit for current is the ampere, usually shortened to amp. Current is measured using an ammeter. The symbol for current is I, which comes from intensité du courant – which in English is current intensity. Current can be calculated by dividing the voltage(V) by the resistance(R), I = V/R
