Current charge making you very angry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irate

'very angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'current charge' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'charge' becomes 'rate' (rate is a kind of charge).
'i'+'rate'='IRATE'

'making you' is the link.

(Other definitions for irate that I've seen before include "Indignant, angry" , "Mad" , "Angry, annoyed" , "Wild" , "Wrathful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
