Question

What is the conventional direction of electric current?

Answer 1

1. The flow of electrons in a conductor in a particular direction constitutes an electric current.
2. The electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the battery.
3. The direction of flow of positive charges is taken as the conventional direction of electric current.
4. The conventional direction of electric current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.

Hence, the conventional direction of an electric current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
