The absolute maximum current is used as part of a rating system, particularly for electronic components. It is a figure that a manufacturer will quote to indicate how much current can pass into or out of a device or a specific connection on the device. Exceeding that limit is likely to damage the device. The absolute maximum value is one that should never be exceeded but it is also normally higher than the maximum recommended current. The value is often measured during tests rather than calculated.

The question might refer to the amount of current that might be drawn by a device. In this instance, to calculate the absolute maximum current that a device or component might draw there are two pieces of information needed. The first is the voltage that is applied to the device. The second is the lowest possible resistance that the device can have. Devices such as resistors, filament lamps and heaters have a constant resistance but active devices such as amplifiers, computers etc. can change resistance as they operate. It can be hard to find the resistance with some devices but once it has been established, Ohm's Law can be used to calculate the maximum current using the equation current = Volts divided by resistance. It is normally much easier to measure the current using an ammeter rather than trying to find the lowest resistance.

What is core current asset under maximum permissible bank finance?

Core current assets are the permanent current assets. These are the essential assets that an organization needs to cover routine activities. To calculate the maximum permissible bank finance, core current assets value is subtracted from the total current assets, because it is not liquid.


How to calculate maximum?

To calculate the maximum of a set of numbers, first, list all the values you want to evaluate. Then, compare each number to find the highest one by checking if each number is greater than the current maximum. If a number is greater, update your maximum. Alternatively, you can use built-in functions in programming languages (like max() in Python) to determine the maximum efficiently.


How can you calculate the current an appliance can use?

To calculate the current an appliance can use, divide the power rating of the appliance (in watts) by the voltage it operates on (in volts). The formula is: Current (in amperes) = Power (in watts) / Voltage (in volts). This calculation will give you the maximum current the appliance can draw under normal operating conditions.

How do you calculate the amplitude of oscillation?

The amplitude of oscillation can be calculated by finding the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position of the oscillating object. It is half of the total range of motion or the difference between the peak and the trough of the oscillation. Mathematically, it is often represented as the absolute value of the maximum displacement.
