on it, even after the inductor is taken away.
2.7 ELECTRIC CURRENT
Electric current is dened as the time rate at which electrical charges ow through
a surface (e.g., the cross section of a wire). So, it is a measure of the amount of
electrical charge Q transferred per unit time t, and its average value I is written as

The charges that ow represent the carriers of the
current.
With reference to Figure 2.18, n is the volume density
of carriers and S the ...
