# Current
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When an appropriate external force is applied, the movement of electrons is from negatively charged atoms (negative ions) to positively charged atoms (positive ions). We call this electrical current.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We use the symbol $I$ to stand for current in equations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> The amount of current is the sum of the charges of the moving electrons past a given point.
|

|
We measure charge in Couloumbs.
