North Atlantic Current of Northwestern Europe. Other branches include the Irminger Current and the Norwegian Current. Driven by the global thermohaline circulation, the North Atlantic Current is part of the wind-driven Gulf Stream, which goes further east and north from the North American coast across the Atlantic and into the Arctic Ocean. The North Atlantic Current, together with the Gulf Stream, have a long-lived reputation for having a considerable warming influence on European climate. However, the principal cause for differences in winter climate between North America and Europe seems to be winds rather than ocean currents (although the currents do exert influence at
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
