No, conventional current is the flow of positive charge whereas current is actually the flow of negative electrons.

What is the direction of current in electronic circuits?

Using conventional current flow from positive to negative. Using electron flow from negative to positive. Most electronic schematics are still drawn in conventional current flow.


How can positive charges cations in conventional current be equal to electronic current?

It IS NOT equal. The electron current represents something that really flows. The conventional current is a fictitious current that represents the flow of a POSITIVE charge (electrons have a negative charge), and flows in the opposite direction. Only the magnitude of the current is the same.


What is the difference between electronic current and conventional current?

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.


Why do you analyze electric circuit on the basis of the conventional current?

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.


Is it easier to misuse data when it is held in electronic form?

The risk is about the same compared to conventional forms.

What is a conventional current?

Conventional current shows current flow from + to - amp meters are labeled this way (conventional current flow) (hole flow) Physics shows that electrons are moving or flowing from - to + (electron flow) Tubes (deforest valves) sort of blew conventional current away semiconductors with different doping materials confuse it more so most new books relate to electron flow voltmeters ammeters are labeled the same since the 18th century


Are electronic air filters better than the old conventional ones?

Yes, current electronic air filters are much better than the old conventional filters. With updated technology, the newer filters are able to catch and filter much more bacteria and other harmful matter, allowing one's home to have cleaner air.


Difference between electron flow and conventional current?

Conventional current flow refers to a flow of positive charges. It is a kind of ficticious current. If - as is often the case - the real current is an electron flow (negative charges), then the conventional flow is a current in the opposite direction as the electron movements, since this would have the same effect (for example on the magnetic field, or on conservation of charge).


In which direction does conventional current flow?

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.


Are protons involved in conventional current?

no


Do the electrons flow in conventional current?

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.
