Difference between conventional current and electric current? • Electric current can be either negative or positive, but conventional current is always positive.• The conventional current for an electron flow is positive, whereas the electrical current is negative.• For a flow of positive charges, both the electric current and the conventional current are the same.• Since almost every electrical circuit uses an electron flow, it can be safely stated that the conventional current = - electrical current.• In conventional current, the flow of electrons is assumed as a flow of protons on the opposite direction.
In metallic conductors, current is produced by flow of electrons. Usually , protons are not involved in an electrical circuit, however, in case of electrolysis of aqueous NaCl, Positive ions which are protons act as charge carriers and become cause of flow of electric current.
Conventional electric current involves the flow of positive charges along a circuit. This current is the movement of charge carriers such as protons or positively charged ions.
Protons are not involved in chemical reactions.
No, conventional current is the flow of positive charge whereas current is actually the flow of negative electrons.
You can analyze it by either conventional or electron current, other than the sign they give the same answers. However it is convention to use conventional current, that is the way others will expect to see it done. That is also why it is called conventional current, it is the convention.
Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charges. If the actual flow is negative particles (as is often the case; usually electrons), the conventional current flows in the direction opposite to the electron flow.
A conventional current is a fictitious current - a flow of positive charges. If the real current consists of electrons, the conventional current flows in the opposite direction as the electron movement. The real current may also consist of other charged particles, for example positive or negative ions in a solution.
From what I learned in High School, no, protons do not move with electric current. Remember, protons are fixed in the nucleus of the atom. It is the electrons in the outer orbitals which can be transferred.So, with regards to electric current, more specifically, conventional current, electrons conduct the charge through the current carrying conductors from the positive terminal of the cell to the negative terminal of the cell. Try to think of it as though the electrons touch the positive terminal of the cell, which cancels out their charge and makes them slightly positive. This causes them to be attracted towards the negative terminal of the cell. Note: THIS DOES NOT REALLY HAPPEN... IT IS JUST A METHOD OF REASONING.If you are interested, there is research being done about 'positrons' (electrons with a positive charge). You can use a search engine to find it.
Real current refers to an analysis of the charges that actually flow - for example electrons in a metal - as opposed to the "conventional current", that uses a ficticious current of positive charges. If the electrons move to the left, the "conventional current" moves to the right. If positive charges (e.g. ions) move to the right, the conventional current also is to the right.
