• Definitions:
• a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes" a steady flow (usually from natural causes); "the raft floated downstream on the current"; "he felt a stream of air" stream: dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas; "two streams of development run through American history"; "stream of consciousness"; "the flow of thought"; "the current of history" occurring in or belonging to the present time; "current events"; "the current topic"; "current negotiations"; "current psychoanalytic theories"; "the ship's current position"
• A current is the flow of a fluid, common examples are water or air. A current is any continuous, directed movement of a fluid. Naturally occurring currents can be explained as an increase in entropy.
• Current is an album by the Funk band Heatwave. It was released in 1982.
• "Current" is the second and last single by Japanese band Schwarz Stein, released in 2003 (see 2003 in music).
• In mathematics, more particularly in functional analysis and differential topology, a current in the sense of Georges de Rham is a functional on the space of compactly supported differential forms, on a smooth manifold M. ...
• The movement or flow of electricity.
• The movement of an electrical charge (electrons or ions) through a circuit.
• Current is the flow of electrons in an electric circuit.
• The rate of flow of electricity in a circuit, measured in amps.
• A measure of the flow of electricity, expressed in amperes(a).
• Generally, a horizontal movement of water. Currents may be classified as tidal and non-tidal. Tidal currents are caused by gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth and are part of the same general movement of the sea that is manifested in the vertical rise and fall, called ...

• The rate of flow of electricity. The unit of the ampere (A) defined as 1 ampere = 1 coulomb per second.
• The flow of electricity expressed in amperes. Current refers to the quantity or intensity of electricity flow, whereas voltage refers to the pressure or force causing the electrical flow.
• 1. Any movement of material in space. See air current, ocean current. 2. Any movement of electric charge in space, by virtue of which a net transport of charge occurs as, for example (in atmospheric electricity), in a conduction current, convection current, or precipitation current.
• The net transfer of electric charge per unit time. Also called electric current. See also current density.
• A flow of electrons, ie, a flow of electricity. Measured in amperes (A).
• Moving water
• A body of water that flows through the sea.
• The movement of water, due to tides, river movement and circular currents caused by the motion of the earth.
• The flow of electric charge through a conductor. The unit of current is the Ampere or MilliAmp.
• The measure of electrical charge passing a particular point. Commonly measured in Amperes. See Ampere.
