Loop Current Loop Current A parent to the Florida Current, the Loop Current is a warm ocean current that flows northward between Cuba and the Yucatán Peninsula, moves north into the Gulf of Mexico, loops east and south before exiting to the east through the Florida Straits and joining the Gulf Stream. The Loop Current is an extension of the of the western boundary current of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. Serving as the dominant circulation feature in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Loop Currents transports between 23 and 27 sverdrups and reaches maximum flow speeds of from 1.5 to 1.8
Drift current through a square centimeter area perpendicular to the direction of flow. (i) Drift current density J, due to free electrons is given by: formula_1 (ii) Drift current density J, due to holes is given by: formula_2 Where: n - Number of free electrons per cubic centimeter. p - Number of holes per cubic centimeter formula_3 – Mobility of electrons in formula_4 formula_5 – Mobility of holes in formula_4 E – Applied Electric Field Intensity in V /cm q – Charge of an electron = 1.6 × 10 coulomb. Drift current In condensed matter physics and electrochemistry, drift current is the
