Electrical current is measured in Amperes which is abbreviated to amps.
When dealing with formulae the letter I is used to represent current, for example:
Power = Voltage × Current = volts × amps = V × I
Small currents in electrical engineering use the lower case i; this can cause confusion with the lower case i that mathematicians use for √-1, so they use j for √-1 instead.
Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.
Copper, aluminum, and gold are examples of conductors because they allow the flow of electricity due to their ability to carry electric current. Insulators, on the other hand, do not conduct electricity and are used to prevent the flow of electric current.
To strip hydrogen from water, a process called electrolysis is used. In electrolysis, an electric current is passed through water to split it into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The hydrogen gas is collected at the cathode while the oxygen gas is collected at the anode.
Incandescent light bulbs use a tungsten filament as the element that emits light when heated by an electric current.
Neon gas is commonly used to fill glow signs. It emits a bright red-orange glow when an electric current is passed through it.
Master is used without abbreviation.
The symbol for electric current is "I" because it stands for intensity, which is an older term used for electric current. The letter "C" is typically used to represent charge in electrical equations, so using "I" for current helps differentiate between the two.
The uppercase letter "I" is used for DC current, or for the average current; the lowercase letter "i" is used for instantaneous current.
Alternating electrical current is usually used in household.
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate D. Transformers.
The letter "I" is typically used to represent electric currents in equations.
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It produces various effects such as heating, lighting, and magnetism. In electronics, current is used to power devices and transmit signals.
'I' represent current in electrical circuits because it stands for intensity, which is another term for electric current. The symbol 'I' was derived from the French word for current, "intensité." Hence, the letter 'I' has been traditionally used in formulas and equations to represent electric current.

to measure electric current.
An ampmeter
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
