Why and how the electrons in the electric circuit flows from negative to positive terminal

Open in App

Solution

Electrons have negative charge, they get emitted from the negative terminal of the battery and would be attracted towards the positive terminal of the battery. That's why they move from negative to positive terminal of the battery.
The electrons have a velocity and they travel on the surface of the electric wire .
