'I' stands for current. It comes from the French word intensité , used by French scientist André-Marie Ampère to describe the 'intensity of the electric current.' This has been absorbed into international usage.
Example: V=IR. (Voltage=Current*Resistance)
The units of current are amperes, named after André-Marie Ampère, and symbolized by 'A'.
Example: This battery has a current of 0.25A.

What does A stand for in electricity?
Amperes (Amps). Apms are the SI unit of electrical current
What do amps measure in a circuit?
Amperage or Amps is a measure of is the flow rate of electrical current that is available.
What voltage is applied to a 4 ohm resistor if the current is 1.5 amps?
Ohm's law: Volts = amps times ohms In the case of a 4 ohm resistor with 1.5 amps of current, the voltage is 6 volts.
What is the starting current for 110 kW motor?
If we consider the rpm to be 1450, then the full load current of 3 phase, 415V motor is approx 190 amps. Now, the starting current of a induction motor is 5-7 times the full load current. Hence the starting current will be approx 950 - 1330 amps. Similar calculations can be made for below mentioned ratings also: 110 KW, 220 V ------F.L. current: 350 amps 110KW, 240 V-------F.L. current: 325 amps
What is a current measured in?
Ammeters (amps) An Ammeter is a meter for measuring electrical current, the unit of which is the Ampere (amp)
What does A stand for in electricity?
Amperes (Amps). Apms are the SI unit of electrical current
What does 20A stand for in a car fuse?
20 amps. the current that can flow through before it blows
What does I stand for in the Ohm's Law formula?
I is the current ( Amps) in the Ohm`s Law formula; V= I*R
What is another word for amps?
Another word for amps would be current. Amps it the unit of mesure for current
The unit of current?
you can measure the unit of a current in amps (A) we measure the current using a ammeter
What are electrical amps?
Amps is short for ampere, a unit for current.
What appliances have amps?
All electric appliances use amps. Amps are a measure of current.
What is meaured in amps?
The electrical current in a circuit is measured in amps.
Why people use I not A for amps?
It was originally used for "current" which is represented today in amps. It stood for the (intensity) of the current.
Formula for watts and amps?
power in watts = voltage in volts x current in amps. or power in watts = current in amps x (resistance in ohms) squared i think what you meant was power in watts =(current in amps)squared x resistance in ohms
What is an electric flow?
An electric flow, is Current. Measured in Amps(Amperes)
What effect are there when resistance is increased in the size of the current?
Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms
