Rfv-sense "the charge transmitted per unit time". Tagged but not listed. I believe I have cited it.__Gamren (talk) 12:14, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Is that not the scientifically accepted definition? —CodeCat 14:19, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
On citing that sense, I also found many cites for the uncontested sense above.__Gamren (talk) 10:41, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I think the first definition is misleading. Any movement of electrons is not electric current. The electrons in the wooden table on which I write this comment are in constant motion. --Hekaheka (talk) 09:06, 9 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Good point. I've revised both definitions, but perhaps they are needlessly wordy.__Gamren (talk) 07:36, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
