The "I" is thought to have been meant to represent "Intensity" (of electron flow)."

"I" stands for "Impetus", the original name for the strength of an electrical current; that is, before Andre-Marie Ampere's Law of 1825.
'I' comes from the French word for current "intensité".

How do i convert 208 amperes to 120 amperes?

You can not change amp's amps is the result of voltage and resistance. Current is represented by I, Voltage is represented by E and Resistance is represented by R in ohms law. I=E/R, R=E/I and E=IxR the I is never a variable


if a digital multimeter displays 000 when reading amperage, what should the technician do to get a more accurate reading?

You can always switch to milliamps for a more precise reading if necessary. Some multimeters have two As, 1 for alternating current (used for residential power and represented by the wave sign) and 1 for direct current (used in batteries and wires and represented by a horizontal line with a dotted line under it).


What is meant by dependent source?

A dependent source is a source that is dependent on, i.e. a function of, some other thing in the circuit. Often, a transistor is represented as a dependent current source, with collector-emitter current being dependent on base-emitter current times hFe, or beta-gain, limited by the collector-emitter resistor network.


What is represented by 'A' in 'OA79' diode?

The symbol 'A' indicates that this device is made from germanium . as you may know germanium has less cut in voltage so this device is used for low power signal or for signal processing. also the leakage current or reverse saturation current of germanium is greater than silicon.


In the math equation for Ohm's Law what does it represent?

Ohm's Law is represented by the equation ( V = IR ), where ( V ) is the voltage (in volts), ( I ) is the current (in amperes), and ( R ) is the resistance (in ohms). This relationship indicates that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, with the resistance acting as a constant factor. Essentially, it describes how electrical current behaves in a circuit, providing a fundamental understanding of electrical engineering and physics.

What is the relationship between power dissipation (P), current (i), and resistance (r) in an electrical circuit, as represented by the equation Pi2r?

The relationship between power dissipation (P), current (i), and resistance (r) in an electrical circuit is represented by the equation Pi2r. This equation shows that power dissipation is directly proportional to the square of the current and the resistance in the circuit.

How you can indicate the current direction in the network?

If we go for the diagramatic representation then battery positive is represented by the long terminal and battery negative is represented by the short terminal then the direction of the current is given by an arrow from positive terminal to negative terminal (Therotically electrons flow from negative to positive but we represent current flow from positive to negative. This is the sign convention )
