Current (Automotive)

The flow of electrons through a conductor.

Current (Boating)

The horizontal motion of water. A tidal current is caused by the tide, a wind-driven current by the wind. A seiche is a lake current. See tide.

Current (Corrosion)

The net transfer of electric charge per unit time. Also called electric current. See also current density

Current (Electric Motors)

The time rate of flow of electrical charge and is measured in amps (amperes).

Current (Explosives)

In electricity, the flow or rate of flow of electric force in a conductor, from a point of higher potential to one of lower potential.

Current (Finance)

Due and payable within one year

Current (Ham Radio)

A flow of electrons in an electrical circuit.

Current (Home Audio)

The flow of electricity and the rate at which it flows.

Current (Hunting)

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 tide. Tidal currents are periodic with a net velocity of zero over the particular tidal cycle. See tidal wave. Non-tidal currents include the permanent currents in the general circulatory systems of the sea as well as temporary currents arising from more pronounced meteorological variability. Current, however, is also the British equivalent of our non-tidal current. See total current.

Current (Import Cars)

1. At present. (Now). 2. Rate of flow of electrons through a conductor measured in amperes ( when 6.28 x 10 18 electrons pass a single point in one second it is sed to represent one ampere of current flow).

Current (Music Technology)

A flow of electrical charge through a electronically conductive material. Usually measured in Ampere's (Amps A). 1 amp repesents 6.24 x 1018 "charge carriers", which are mostly electrons or electron deficient atoms.

Current (Oceanography)

A large portion of air or water moving in a certain direction.

Current (Plumbing)

The movement of electrons through a conductor, measured in amperes

Current (Robotics)

A flow of electric charge.

Current (Sanitation)

(1) A term which, applied to budgeting and accounting, designates the operations of the present fiscal period as opposed to past or future periods. It usually connotes items likely to be used up or converted into cash within one year. (2) A flow of electric charge, measured in amperes. (3) Flow or movement of water in a stream, river, lake, bay, or ocean.

Current (Solar Energy)

The rate of flow of an electric charge. Current is measured in amps.

Current (Technology)

The flow of electric charge through a conductor, or the amount of such flow. Current is measured in amperes. See also ampere, coulomb. Compare volt.

Current (Transistors)

The flow of charge carriers (holes or electrons) through a conducting wire or crystal.

Current (UPS)

Amount of electricity that flows through a conductor, such as a wire.

Current (Uk Power)

A flow of electrons in an electrical conductor. The rate of movement of the electricity, measured in amperes

Current (Weather)

A horizontal movement of water, such as the Gulf Stream off the east coast of North America, or air, such as the jet stream.

Current (Wind Energy)

See Amperage.
