Solution

Dear Student

When electric current is passed electrons move from low potential to high potential.
The higher potential terminal has a larger number of positive charges and a lesser number of negative charges. The lower potential terminal, on the other hand, has more negative charges and less positive charges. The negative charges, or electrons, are mobile, as a result, electrons from low-potential terminals migrate to higher-potential terminals. As the flow of conventional current is taken opposite to the flow of electrons. The current is moving from a higher to a lower potential state.
