Current
Current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, measured in amperes (amps), and combines with voltage to determine power.
Definition
Current measures the flow of electric charge through a circuit, in amperes (A). Power (in watts) is the product of voltage and current, making current a core parameter in electrical system design and equipment ratings.
Why It Matters
Current is primarily relevant to electrical infrastructure design and safety (e.g., circuit breaker sizing) rather than day-to-day energy management analytics.
