Question

In an electric circuit, the current flows from:

• A. negative to positive terminal
• B. negative to neutral terminal
• C. positive to negative terminal
• D. positive to neutral terminal

Answer 1

The correct option is C

positive to negative terminal

In an electric circuit, the conventional direction of current is taken as the direction in which a positive charge would move. ie., from positive to negative terminal of the battery. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.
