In a conventional current, the electric field points the way decreasing electric potential goes. The current from the positive terminal is at a higher potential toward the negative terminal, which means the current is in the direction of decreasing potential.
The potential difference. The electrons flows from a lower potential to a higher potential. The electric current flows in the opposite direction. The electric field's direction is always from a higher potential to a lower potential. Its kind of like a waterfall. The water always falls down not up. It goes from a higher potential to a lower potential.
Current defined as Positive charge flow , flows from higher potential to the lower. Current defined as electron flow, flows from lower potential to higher. In general Potential and Current are defined by positive charge.
Electric current flows from a high elecric potential to a low electric potential in a circuit. It is also opposite to the direction of the flow of electrons.
In a DC circuit (battery), the lower potential is always on one 'end' of the circuit so the current always flows in the same direction. In a AC circuit, a wave is generated so each end cycles between high and low potential. Current always flows towards lower potential and changes direction every time the higher/ lower potential changes
The electric current moves in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons by convention.When a potential difference is applied to a material which has "loose" electrons, the electrons move in a direction opposite to the potential gradient and the current moves in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons.This is how current flows in materials.
in diode current flows from anode to cathode
AC or alternating current.
AC, alternating current.
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

direct current.
direct current
Direct current= flows in one direction ... AC flows in back and forward ..
In Spanish, a direct current is called "corriente continua" - continuous current. A direct (or continuous) current flows continuously in a single direction.An alternating current changes direction all the time.In Spanish, a direct current is called "corriente continua" - continuous current.

Opposites attract, a place with relative high potential has the property of equalizing potential over the available space and so electric current flows to the lower potential to even out the overall potential.
DC current
The California current flows south.
Direct Current (DC).
No. Current flows from a high potential to a low potential. 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', not 'potential'.
DC.
A resistor is bi-directional meaning current can flow in either direction. Current flows from positive to negative.
Current is a vector quantity with certain magnitude and direction same as Voltage or Potential Difference . So when flows in any circuit, it is in phase or out of phase with applied voltage, if its magnitude and direction is changing before applied voltage then said to be leading current and if after then lagging current.
When a capacitor discharges the discharge current flows in the opposite direction to the current used to charge it.
direct current ( "DC" )
That's a "direct" current.
The direction of the current does.
