Question

Conventional current is the direction of electric current from positive terminal of a cell to negative terminal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

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.

Electron Flow is what actually happens and electrons flow out of the negative terminal, through the circuit and into the positive terminal of the source.

Both Conventional Current and Electron Flow are used.
