at least one reference that speculates that I was for

Anyone know what the ACTUAL definition/word for I in Ohm's Law is? I
know:
E= Electromotive Force
R= Resistance
I= ? (I know it's amperage, but what does I mean?)
Thanks.

Your are right it is off topic!
Actually, it does stand for Intensity, according to the 1812 papers
published by Ohm
