How direction of flow of current determined by the potential difference.

Open in App

Solution

The direction of flow of current is from a body at a higher potential to the one at a lower potential.
Current flows in the direction opposite to the direction of the flow of electrons.
Electrons move from higher potential to lower potential and when it is connected to the circuit it move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
