  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000525",
  "term": "Amplitude of alternating current",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The maximum absolute value reached by an alternating current during one cycle of its oscillation. This value represents the peak intensity of the current flow in either direction. For a sinusoidal alternating current, the amplitude is the peak current, often denoted as I_max or I_p.",
