Direction of flow of current is the direction of movement of positively charged ions.But in actual there occurs movement of negatively charged particles i.e. electrons.And electrons are negatively charged therefore they are attracted towards the positively charged electrode i.e. electrons move from...

Direction of flow of current is the direction of movement of positively charged ions.But in actual there occurs movement of negatively charged particles i.e. electrons.And electrons are negatively charged therefore they are attracted towards the positively charged electrode i.e. electrons move from negative to positive.Thus the direction of flow of current is from POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE electrode of a battery/cell (as it is taken apposite to the direction of flow of electrons) read less

Conventional Current assumes that current flows out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of the source. This was the convention chosen during the discovery of electricity. They were wrong! Electron Flow is what actually happens and electrons flow out of the...

Good teacher

Conventional current flow from positive direction to negative direction where as electric current flow from negative to positive. In conventional current the flow of electron is assumed as flow of proton in opposite direction. In general current means conventional current it is measured by Ampere

A flow of positive charges gives the same electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention for the direction of current which is independent...

A flow of positive charges gives the same electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention for the direction of current which is independent of the type of charge carriers is needed. The direction of conventional current is arbitrarily defined to be the same as the direction of the flow of positive charges. In metals, which make up the wires and other conductors in most electrical circuits, the positive charges are immobile, and the charge carriers are electrons. Because the electrons carry negative charge, their motion in a metal conductor is in the direction opposite to that of conventional current. read less
