Question

Electric current always flows from ______ to _______.

• A. higher
• B. lower potential

Answer 1

The flow of electric current:

1. A circuit, which is a closed-loop of a conducting substance, was necessary for the current to flow. The circuit is made up of wires that are joined end to end, with electrons flowing in the same direction. If we introduce metal into an electrical circuit. As we all know, current flows from positive to negative terminals.
2. Then perhaps a positive terminal flows in the direction orientation of the current. If electrons are present throughout the metal, they flow in the opposite direction of the applied current, implying that the current flows in the direction of the electric field.
3. Positive charges have great potential, whereas negative charges have a low potential. A positive charge always moves from high potential to low potential, although a negative charge consistently moves from low potential to high potential.

Therefore, electric current always flows from higher to lower potential.
