I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'experts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'current problems' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'current' could be 'electric' (synonyms) and 'electric' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ians' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for electricians that I've seen is " People familiar with currents".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
