Solution

The correct option is A True

In an electric circuit, the flow of electrons takes place from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. The conventional flow of electric current is taken in the direction of positive charge flow i.e., in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons. It means the conventional direction of electric current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the circuit, as shown in the diagram above.
