Question

Consider the direction of the current AND flow of electrons from the section $A$ to $B$ that goes through the resistor in the circuit pictured.

• A. Current flow: Upward
  Electron flow: Downward
• B. Current flow: Upward
  Electron flow: Upward
• C. Current flow: Downward
  Electron flow: Downward
• D. Current flow: Downward
  Electron flow: Upward

Answer 1

The correct option is D Current flow: Downward

Electron flow: Upward
In the external circuit , the current flows from positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery , therefore current in the given circuit will flow from A to B i.e. downward .

Now the direction of electron flow is given opposite to the conventional current , therefore electron flow will be opposite to AB i.e. upward .
