Electric current electrons into the conduction band. The current-carrying electrons in the conduction band are known as "free electrons", though they are often simply called "electrons" if that is clear in context. Current density is a measure of the density of an electric current. It is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area. In SI units, the current density is measured in amperes per square metre. where "formula_6" is current in the conductor, formula_7 is the current density, and formula_8 is the differential cross-sectional area vector. The current density (current per unit area) "formula_7" in materials
Conventional electrical unit not precisely the same as the SI definitions but very nearly equivalent). Conventional electrical units are based on defined values of the Josephson constant and the von Klitzing constant, which allow practical measurements of electromotive force and electrical resistance respectively. Conventional electrical units can be thought of as a scaled version of a system of natural units defined as having consequence: This is a more general (or less specific) version of either the particle physics "natural units" or the quantum chromodynamical system of units but that no unit mass is fixed. Like n.u. or QCD units, with conventional electrical units
