A flow of positive charges gives the same electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention is needed for the direction of current that is independent of the type of charge carriers. Negatively charged carriers, such as the electrons (the charge carriers in metal wires and many other electronic circuit components), therefore flow in the opposite direction of conventional current flow in an electrical circuit.[16][17]

In a conducting wire current is flowing fromnorth to south. A positive charge is moving inupward direction is above the wire. Charge willdeviated in the direction :-(1) North (2) South(3) East (4) West

Conventional current is the flow of positive charges from higher to lower potential.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse.

What is the direction of electron flow in an electrolytic cell?Group of answer choicesin either directionfrom cathode to anodeThere is no flow.from anode to cathode

The flow of electric charge that occurs in one direction that is typically produced by batteries is known asGroup of answer choicesac current.dc current.ac/dc current.unidirectional current.
