term used to describe electrical charges moving through a wire.
A] The flow of electrons through a conducting material. By convention, current is considered to flow from positive to negative potential. The electrons, however, actually flow in the opposite direction. The unit of measurement is the Ampere and 1 Amp is defined as the constant current produced between two straight infinitely long parallel conductors with negligible cross section diameter and spaced one meter apart in a vacuum.
Current is the movement of charged particles through a conductor, usually electrons through a copper wire. Current is measured in amperes or fractions of an ampere. Generally, dozens or hundreds of milliamperes must be passed through the coil of a magnetic head in order to encode data onto a stripe. DC erase- See demagnetize. decoder- A decoder, usually an F2F decoder, transforms a TTL compatible (0 or 5 volt) F2F encoded waveform into a data signal and a separate synchronous clock signal. Decoders generally function over a wide range of perhaps 100 to 5000 bits per second.
