Solution

The correct options are
A
high potential to low potential

C
positive terminal to negative terminal of cell

In a cell, the positive terminal is at high potential and the negative terminal is at low potential. According to the convention, current always flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

Q. As told in the video of Krichoff's voltage law, that if we move from low potential to high potential aross a battery which is from negative terminal to positive terminal, the voltage gets added. So if we would have taken the direction of loop in the other way round i.e from high potential to low potential which is from positive to negative, would we substract it?

Q. Assertion :In a simple battery circuit, the point of the lowest potential is negative terminal of the battery. Reason: The current flows towards the point of the higher potential, as it does in such a circuit from the negative to the positive terminal.

Q. On applying a potential difference, electrons move from positive terminal to negative terminal.

Q. Which terminal of a cell is at higher potential–positive or negative? How does this affect the direction of flow of electric current?

Is" positive charge -high electric fluid and negative charge-low electric fluid " correct ??

If it is correct, then is electric current in a circuit, the movement of this electric fluid from positive terminal to negative terminal of the cell??

If this is true , then when equilibrium is reached will the current flowing in the circuit stop automatically ??
