- 电流表 diànliúbiǎo ammeterA device used to measure the strength of an electric current in a circuit; also known as an ammeter, galvanometer, or ampere meter.
- 电流强度 diànliúqiángdù electric current intensityThe amount of electric charge passing through a cross-section of a conductor per unit of time; measured in amperes. Often shortened to [[电流|電流|dian4 liu2]]
- 感生电流 gǎnshēngdiànliú induced currentelectric current produced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field
- 交变电流 jiāobiàndiànliú alternating current
- 涡电流 wōdiànliú eddy currentA swirling electric current induced within a conductor by a changing magnetic field; it consumes energy and causes the conductor to heat up.
- 热电流 rèdiànliú thermocurrentan electric current produced by the temperature difference between the junctions of two different metals
- 生物电流 shēngwùdiànliú bioelectric currentbioelectric current; an electrical current generated by a living organism, typically associated with nerve impulses and muscle contractions
