A conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charges. If - as is often the case - the real particles have a negative charge, and they move, say, from left to right, then the conventional current flows from right to left.
The current flow is from positive to negative whereas electron flow is from negative to positive.
Conventional current flow is from positive to negative. Electron flow is from negative to positive
Conventional current flow is current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive. See Related Links
The ELECTRONS flow from the negative to the positive terminal. But it is considered that the electric current flows from the positive to the negative terminal.
Electron flow is considered to be negative to positive whereas conventional current flow is considered to be positive to negative.
from positive to negative
Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.
Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.
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.
The direction of current due to flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of conventional current. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so when they flow in a wire, they are actually moving in the opposite direction to the current flow defined by convention.
The type of current that flows from positive to negative is called conventional current. This convention was established before the discovery of electrons and defines current as the flow of positive charge. In reality, electrons, which carry a negative charge, move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, but conventional current still represents the flow of positive charge in circuits.
Negative to positive.
