Is electric current the movement of positive charged particles?

Answer 1

No.

There are 3 parts in the atom, which are:

Proton-Positive charge

Electron-Negitive charge

Neutron-Neutral/No charge

So protons are what carry the positive charge, where as neutrons dont carry any charge.

Answer 2

Positive charge flow is just a concept. It is just the electrons which actually exist and flow in electricity.

We just assume that positive charge is flowing in direction opposite to that of electron.

Answer 3

The type of current that goes in households is AC (Alternating current)

Which means the current alternates between positive and negative randomly.

The type of current used by batteries is DC (Direct Current)

One terminal is positive, the other is negative. When in use, energized electrons(which are negative), generated by a chemical reaction inside the battery, flow out of the negative terminal, through the circuit (lights, radio, etc.) and back into the positive terminal.

Answer 4

A real electric current is the movement of charged particles. The charges can be positive or negative, but the most common case is the movement of electrons - which have a negative charge. For purposes of calculation, an equivalent (and ficticious) movement of positive charges is often used. If the real current is a movement of negative charges, this ficticious current (called the "conventional current") moves in the opposited direction as the real particles.

Answer 5

no, only negative ion can lose electrons and give electricity. if you want to become my friend then tell me at shubhamnuclear@gmail.com i love science and want to be a scientist
