    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_electrical_unit

    A conventional electrical unit (or conventional unit where there is no risk of ambiguity) is a unit of measurement in the field of electricity which is based on the so-called "conventional values" of the Josephson constant, the von Klitzing constant agreed by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 1988, as well as Δν Cs used to define the second.

  8. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    The conventional symbol for current is I, which originates from the French phrase intensité du courant, (current intensity). [5] [6] Current intensity is often referred to simply as current. [7] The I symbol was used by André-Marie Ampère, after whom the unit of electric current is named, in formulating Ampère's force law (1820). [8]
