Question

Electrons flow from a ________ charged body to a ________ charged body when connected by a copper wire.

• A. positively, positively
• B. negatively, negatively
• C. positively, negatively
• D. negatively, positively

Answer 1

The correct option is D negatively, positively

The flow of electrons is termed electron current. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. As electrons are negatively charged bodies, they are attracted towards the positive terminal or body across the copper wire.
Conventional current or simply current, behaves as if positive charge carriers cause current flow. Conventional current flows from the positive terminal to the negative.
Hence, electrons flow from a negatively charged body to a positively charged body when connected by a copper wire.
