What is the scientific abbreviation for current?
In formulas, the conventional symbol for electric current is I. In actual measurements of current, the standard unit is A (ampere, "amps")
What is the symbol to represent a joule?
The symbol that is used to represent a joule is the letter "J". This is a derived unit of energy. It can also be used to represent work, and an amount of heat.
What is the symbol for electric flux?
psi
What is the name of a symbol of electric flux?
psi
What is the symbol for the unit current?
an A
What unit is used to measure electric current and what is its symbol?
Amperes are the units; 'I' is the symbol chosen to represent amperage.
What is the symbol of electric current and on what basis it has been kept?
The symbol for electric current is I
What is symbol of electric current?
I
Why most often electric current is given the symbol 'I' capital 'i'?
I is the international (SI) symbol for electrical current.
What letter symbol is used to represent current?
The letter 'I' is used to represent current. Its SI units are the ampere,(amps),(A).
What is the abbreviation used to represent a unit of electrical current?
AAnswerThe SI unit for electric current is the ampere, whose symbol (not 'abbreviation') is A. The ampere is defined in terms of the resulting force between two current-carrying conductors, due to their magnetic fields.
Why inductance is represented by the letter L in electronics?
Because the symbol I was already in common use to represent the amount of current in a circuit.You may ask then why was the symbol I chosen to represent current? Well because the symbol C had already been adopted to represent Capacitance!Go figure!

What is current how it is measured?
An electric current (symbol: I) is a very slow drift of charge carriers (electrons, in metallic conductors), and is measured in amperes (symbol: A). An ampere is defined in terms of the 'magnetic effect' of an electric current, that is the force of attraction or repulsion between two, parallel, conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. An instrument used to measure electric current is called an 'ammeter'.
What is the symbol used in a formula to represent the rate of energy dissipation in an electric circuit?
"W" for watts, or wattage
Why is current is called 'I'?
The symbol "I " was used by André-Marie Ampère, after whom the unit of electric current is named and stands for "intensité de courant": Current Intensity.
What is the symbol for inductor?
L is the symbol for inductance. An inductor is a passive two-terminal electrical component which resists changes in electric current passing through it.
