Electrical Current

Current (symbolised by the letter I) is measured in Amps.

One Amp is defined as:

6.24×1018 electrons per second passing through a point in a circuit.

 Electrons passing through a point in a circuit.

 

Current equals I equals amps

To remember that current is represented by the symbol "I" and is measured in Amps, use the following mnemonic.

  Current = I = A
           
  Current = I = Amps
