Question

Fig. 9.26 below shows two conductors A and B. Their charges and potentials are given in the diagram. State the direction of (i) flow of electrons, and (ii) flow of current, when both the conductors are joined by a metal wire.

Answer 1

When both the conductors are joined by a metal wire:

1. Electrons will flow from A to B.
2. Current will flow from B to A.
