What is the Definition of Current?

[QUOTE="Andrew Mason, post: 4363295, member: 15795"] There is no current because there is no voltage. If you are trying to determine the resistance of this configuration you have to pretend there is a voltage applied somewhere and work out the current that flows. I am not sure what you are trying to do. Where is the applied voltage? If there is current and no potential difference then there is 0 resistance. That is just Ohm's law: R = V/I Current does not strictly require a potential difference. Current consists of moving charges. Once charges start moving if there is no resistance to flow, they keep moving. You can keep a current flowing in a superconductor after you remove the voltage. AM [/QUOTE]
