Solution
Concept used: Electric current
Prerequisite: Knowledge of flow of current
For the conventional flow of current, the direction of flow of current is taken the same as the direction of flow positive charges, whereas the direction of electron current is considered as the opposite of the flow of conventional current, i.e., opposite to the flow of positive charges.
The conventions about the direction of flow current are,
- Conventional current flow in the same direction of positive charges
- Electron current flow in the same direction of positive charges or electron
