In formulas, the conventional symbol for electric current is I. In actual measurements of current, the standard unit is A (ampere, "amps")
A electric current produces a magnetic field
Electric current is a scalar.
electric current (alternating)
electric current
The symbol for electric current is I
I
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.
I is the international (SI) symbol for electrical current.
Amperes are the units; 'I' is the symbol chosen to represent amperage.
The radical symbol √
Current is the generic term to describe the flow of something. This could be electrons in a wire (electric current) - or the movement of water in a river (a water current). It can also be used to denote "now" as in "the current time is 12.00" or "current affairs"

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'.

G
That symbol is called the radical.
