because current was originally reffered to as electrical intensity.
It can be anything, as long as it's clearly defined in accompanying text.The most commonly used is ' I '. Current has the units of Amperes.
The symbol for alternating current is: ~
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.
Hi,The symbol for amps, or amperes, is A. though in the equation V=IR, current is represented by an I. the proper symbol is A.CommentDo not confuse the symbols for quantities and for units of measurement. Current is a quantity, and its symbol is an italic I. The ampere is a unit, and its symbol is an upright A.
In an electric circuit C is used to denote the capacitance, so current is represented by I. <<>> The original French term for amperage or current was "intensité de courant". It translated into English as "intensity of current". So it was the letter I from the word "intensity" that the early experimenters in electricity used and now today it still represents the symbol for current.
an A
The symbol for electric current is I
A
Current gain configuration is the change in collector current divided by the change in the emitter current. Its symbol is hfe, or h-parameter.
It can be anything, as long as it's clearly defined in accompanying text.The most commonly used is ' I '. Current has the units of Amperes.
I is the international (SI) symbol for electrical current.
Amperes are the units; 'I' is the symbol chosen to represent amperage.
sine wave symbol
I
the symbol of current density is 'J'. & its unit is (Amp/m^2)
The symbol for alternating current is: ~
The correct symbol to represent the units of electric current is "I", which is measured in amperes (A).
