currentthat
Currentthat is a neologism used in some electrical engineering and electronics communities to refer to the instantaneous current in a particular branch or path of a circuit, especially when distinguishing it from average, peak, or routed currents. The term is informal and not part of formal standards or textbooks. In practice, currentthat is typically defined as the temporal current i(t) flowing through a specific element or node of interest, and is used in circuit analysis and simulation to track transient behavior and timing.
Etymology and usage: The word blends the common word current with a demonstrative suffix that suggests reference
Applications: In SPICE simulations or schematic labeling, currentthat can be used as a label for a branch
