Calculate Electric Current







Formula

The formula to calculate Electric Current (I) is:

\[ I = \frac{x \cdot L}{R} \]

Where:

Definition

Electric Current is the flow of electrons in a conductor, measured in amperes, and is a fundamental concept in understanding electrical circuits and devices.

Potential Gradient is the rate of change of electric potential with respect to distance, measured in volts per unit length, in a direction perpendicular to equipotential surfaces.

Length is the distance between two points in a circuit, measured in meters, and is a fundamental parameter in electric current calculations.

Electric resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current and is measured in ohms, representing how much a material hinders electric current flow.

How to calculate Electric Current in Potentiometer

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ I = \frac{x \cdot L}{R} \]

Evaluating:

\[ I = \frac{21 \cdot 1.5}{15} \]

The Electric Current is 2.1 Amperes.
