Electric current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1287 words)
The most familiar artificial form of electric current is the flow of conduction electrons in metal wires, such as the overhead power lines that deliver electrical energy across long distances and the smaller wires within electrical and electronic equipment.
Electric current is therefore sometimes informally referred to as amperage or ampage, by analogy with the term voltage.
It is the current that passes that determines the effect, and this depends on the nature of the contact, the condition of the body part, the current path through the body and the voltage of the source.
