Question

We have studied that electricity is nothing but the flow of electrons.
State whether the following statement is True or False:
In an electric circuit, the conventional flow of electric current is taken opposite to the flow of electrons.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

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.
