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.
