Electron scattering data in the momentum transfer region of 0.6<3.0 fm/sup -1/ taken on inelastic levels in /sup 48/Ca is presented. Charge and current transition densities have been extracted for low lying 2/sup +/, 4/sup +/, 3/sup -/ and 5/sup -/ levels. Evidence for substantial quenching of the transverse current in both electric and magnetic single particle hole transitions is presented and discussed. Form factors for magnetic single particle hole 3/sup +/ and 8/sup -/ states are extracted and reveal a 70% quenching of the transverse form factor. Analysis of the 5/sup -/ level at 5.73 MeV excitation indicates the magnetization current is the source of the reduction. Form factors for a number of other levels are briefly presented and discussed.
