The continuous movement of water in a certain direction is known as current.
If we want to know the current term in depth, the first thing we must do is try to discover its etymological origin. And this is found in Latin, specifically in the verb currere , which is synonymous with “run.”
Current is an adjective that allows you to name someone or something that runs . The term can be applied to the passage of time to name the current moment or the one that is passing . For example: “The government promised a definitive solution within the current month,” “This year reflects a better financial performance of the company.”
Some uses of the term current
Another current acceptance is linked to what is currently in use or what was in use at the time in question : “In those times, the current clothing included a hat in the case of men,” “The current regulations prohibits bathing in this river due to its high levels of pollution” , “The current currency in European territory is the euro” .
What is commonly known or admitted , that which does not hinder its use or what happens frequently, is also known as ordinary: “This is an ordinary machine, I don't think you will have problems using it,” “I bought an ordinary jacket.” , but the truth is that I needed it to not suffer from the low temperatures,” “It is common to see fights at night in this neighborhood.”
The flow of electric charges that runs through a conductor is called current.
The concept linked to water and air
Nor can we forget the existence of what is known as the marine current . It is a term that we use in the field of science to refer to the surface-level movements carried out by the waters of both the seas and the oceans.
Thus, for example, in the usual colloquial one can say: “The man who was swimming fainted and that was what caused him to be dragged by the current of the sea much further inland.
In the same way there is also the so-called fluvial current , which is the sheet that the river bed has at the surface level. That is made up of the water supplied by the streams as well as the possible melting of what would be the snow.
And then, on the other hand, but also within the scientific field, there are the so-called air currents . These are very fast air flows that occur on various planets, such as the Earth.
The electric current
Electric current , on the other hand, is a physical quantity that reflects the amount of electricity that, in a unit of time, flows through a conductor. This flow of electrical charges is measured in amperes, according to the International System.
It is possible to distinguish between direct current (electric current that flows in the same direction) and alternating current (which reverses the direction of its movement according to a certain periodic frequency).
A province and a city of Argentina
In addition to everything mentioned above, we must not forget the city of Corrientes . It is a city in Argentina that serves as the capital of the province that gives it its name.
This town has its origins in the 16th century and has attractions such as the Convent of San Francisco or the Church of the Cross of Miracles .
