- While tracking the speed of individual particles is great, a more useful and simpler quantity to measure is current which is the amount of charges moving through some cross-sectional area per unit time. It has units of Coulombs per second (or Amps} and is abbreviated by the symbol i. See if you can write out a formula for the current through a section of wire with cross sectional area A given the average speed of particles v, the charge on each particle, q, and the number of charges per unit volume, n. Use dimensional analysis for this formula.
