In aircraft electrical systems and engineering, “current” refers to the flow of electric charge through a conductor or electrical circuit. Current is a fundamental parameter for electrical systems, including those used in aircraft. Here’s the definition and SI unit for current in aircraft systems:
Formula: The formula for current (I) in an electrical circuit is given by:
- Current (I) is in amperes (A).
- Charge (Q) is the quantity of electric charge passing through a point in the circuit, measured in coulombs (C).
- Time (t) is the duration over which the charge flows, measured in seconds (s).
