When using kirchhoffs current law if negative answer is found for current flow what does this indicate?

It means the current is moving in the opposite direction to the one you assumed.


Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have ____.?

Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).

Current flows from plus ve to -ve or-ve to plus ve?

There are two ways to look at current. Conventional current (measured in amps) flows from positive to negative. This model works for the vast majority of electrical engineering purposes. However, current is created by the movement of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge so electrons moving in one direction will give rise to conventional current in the opposite direction. Therefore, although current flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.


What subatomic praticle is moving in a current?

A current usually involves the movement of charged particles. ANY charged particle will do; though quite often, it is the electron (negative charge). Other options include holes (positive), and ions (positive or negative) in a solution.


Is voltage negative or positive?

A negative or positive sign is applied to a current depending upon the direction in which it is moving, and in the case of alternating current, that direction changes 60 times per second. Viewed strictly as a form of energy, voltage is always positive. So far, physics has not detected negative energy.


Can current be negative?

A negative current only signifies direction.


Moving current has electrical energy?

Electrons move to the positive pole from the negative pole in an electric circuit. The electric current is a flow of electric charge that is often carried by moving elections in a wire in electric circuits.
