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.

β 14y ago" I " stands for electric current and an electric current is a flow of electrons that have been dislodged from atoms and is a measure of the quantity of electrical charge passing any point of the wire per unit time.
Note : A common unit of current is the ampere, a flow of one coulomb of charge per second, or 6.24 × 1018 electrons per second.

β 13y agoJust like any other quantity in algebraic expressions, equations, and formulas,
electric current can be represented by any letter or symbol with which you're
comfortable.
Out of tradition and force of habit, electric current is most often represented
by "I" or "i". But there's no great reason why it has to be.
The letter "I" is commonly used to abbreviate electric current.

Electrolysis is commonly used to separate hydrogen and oxygen. In this process, an electric current is passed through water, causing it to split into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
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.
D. Transformers. Transformers operate on alternating current (AC) and do not function with direct current (DC).
Alternating electrical current is usually used in household.
The letter "I" is typically used to represent electric currents in equations.
'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, "intensitΓ©." Hence, the letter 'I' has been traditionally used in formulas and equations to represent electric current.
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.
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
