Why Is The Symbol Of Current you And Not C?
In an electric circuit C is used to denote the capacitance, so current is represented by I. <<>> The original French term for amperage or current was "intensité de courant". It translated into English as "intensity of current". So it was the letter I from the word "intensity" that the early experimenters in electricity used and now today it still represents the symbol for current.
What is a graphical representation of alternating current?
The symbol for alternating current is: ~
What is the Symbol for current flow?
It can be anything, as long as it's clearly defined in accompanying text.The most commonly used is ' I '. Current has the units of Amperes.
Is 'Au' the symbol for silver?
No, "Au" is not the symbol for silver. It instead is the symbol for gold whereas "Ag" is that for silver.
Why is the symbol i for current?
because current was originally reffered to as electrical intensity.
Symbol of improper subset?
It looks like a big "C", with an underline. It can be compared to the "less-than-or-equal" symbol, but it is rounded instead of an angle symbol.

What is the symbol of electric current and on what basis it has been kept?
The symbol for electric current is I
Is the symbol for chlorine c?
False. C is the symbol for Carbon. Cl is the symbol for chlorine.
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 the symbol for the carbon atom?
The carbon symbol is C.
Why is current represented by the letter I in electronics?
One explanation I was given was that when a letter was needed to represent current in formulas, C had already been used, and it was decided to use the next unused letter of the alphabet, which was I. However, I prefer the other explanation, which is that in the early days of investigations into electricity, what we now call current was called Intensity, hence the letter I. It should never be confused with Impedence, the symbol for which is Z.
C is the symbol for what element?

What is the current symbol for the unit that measures current is?
A
How did carbon get it symbol?
Symbol: C Name: Carbon Both start with a C...
What is the symbol for current gain?
Current gain configuration is the change in collector current divided by the change in the emitter current. Its symbol is hfe, or h-parameter.
