Re: Why "i" for current?


Can anyone quickly tell me why "i" is the abbreviation for current?

Thanks.

Classical physics has been mostly developed, if not completly, by
scientist who spoke English,French or German as their primary language.
So, altough f.i. 'Work' takes usually a 'W', and English is currently
the language of science, in searching the ethymology of a word one cannot
forget these other two languages.
