Text　　The primary purpose of an electric circuit is to move or transfer charges along specified paths. This motion of charges constitutes an electric current. Current flow is represented by the letter symbol i or I, and it is the time rate of change of charge, given by i=dq/dt. The basic unit in which current is measured is the ampere(A). An ampere of current is defined as the movement of one coulomb(6.28×1018electrons) past any point of a conductor during one second of time. The milliampere(mA) and the microampere(mA) units are also used to express a magnitude of current much smaller than th
