Answer / bobnish
scientists used to commonly refer to cureent as the
intensity of electricity in the wire. therefore it is
simply dentoed by an uppercase "I".

Answer / mujahid khan
The symbol I was chosen for current because early
scientists were used to refer electric current as the
intensity of the electricity in a wire.

Answer / r.chanthiramohan
1) the current is energy transmitted or moving of
electrons,(the intensity of electromagnetic flux)The
conventional symbol for current is I, which originates from
the French phrase intensité de courant, or in English
current intensity.The I symbol was used by André-Marie
Ampère, after whom the unit of electric current is named,
Ampère(A)
2)CURRENT: denoted by I and measured in amperes. Current
flows from negatively charged material to positively charged
material and is essentially the number of electrons per
second that are carried through a conductor. Current is
measured in units of amps. 1 amp = 1 coloumb/sec = 6.2 x
1018 electrons per second!

Answer / khilendra pant
Current is a flow of electrical charge carriers, usually
electrons or electron-deficient atoms. The common symbol
for current is the uppercase letter I. The standard unit is
the ampere, symbolized by A. One ampere of current
represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018
charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one
second. Physicists consider current to flow from relatively
positive points to relatively negative points; this is
called conventional current or Franklin current. Electrons,
the most common charge carriers, are negatively charged.
They flow from relatively negative points to relatively
positive points.

Hi all, please could anybody give me a suggestion about Electrical designs and calculations .. what text book should i follow as i am a trainee engineer and here work going not so favorable to me so please help me friends .. A small discription about my work which is going here is all about Electrical designs like cable sizing, lighting, lightning, Gensets sizing, motor sizing, transformer sizing, generator sizing, circuit breakers, PDB MCC PCC SLDB MLDB panels, Single line diagrams mainly, substation desings, cable routing and layouts, reactive power compensations, power factor improvement, voltage drop calculations, power generations, power transmission, power distributions all calculations i need .. please please if anybody experienced with this problem and got a solution then please help me .. just i need an apt text book for these all calculations and designs ..
what is the mager value of star motor and delta motor between phase to ground and phase to phase, and minimum how much should be value ?
while doing high voltage test on 11kv/433 distribution transformer why we only give 28 kv on hv side and 3kv on lv side for power transformers what is the value what factors it depends
For an 100kw generator, only 50kw of load is connected. will the generator generate only 50kw or 100kw. if it generate 100kw what happens to rest of the 50kw. what happens if we connect more than 100kw of load?
