Question

Conventionally, the direction of the current is taken as

• A. the direction of flow to negative charge
• B. the direction of flow of atoms
• C. the direction of flow of molecules
• D. the direction of flow of positive charge

Answer 1

The correct option is D the direction of flow of positive charge

Conventionally the direction of flow of current is taken to be the direction of flow of positive charges.

In reality, negatively charged electrons flow in the conductor. Hence the direction of current is considered to be in the opposite direction to the direction of the flow of electrons.
