Positive electrical flow is electrons flowing in one direction in a wire, if they change the direction of flow that would be a negative flow. If they change direction quickly, say 60 times a second, that would be alternating current, which is what we have in the united states as household electricity.

What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)
In a dc circuit polarity refers to the direction of which flow?
In the US, it is common practice in a DC circuit to refer to the polarity for which "positive (+) charge" is flowing. Positive charge (current) will flow out of a voltage supply's positive (+) terminal which means positive charge will flow into the (+) terminal of a circuit load (resistor, etc). This is an arbitrary convention and may be reversed in older or foreign textbooks. In such cases all positive (+) references in the previous description would be replaced by negative, (-) notations.
What is a complete electric circuit?
A complete electric circuit is basically an electric circuit in which the electrons flow from negative terminal to positive terminal without any disturbance. The switch has to be closed in order for this to work otherwise, the flow will be broken.
When electrons are moving from negative pole to positive pole in the circuit then current in the circuit will be moving in which direction?
always current flow from the opposite direction of electron
What end does electrons flow in a circuit?
the positive side, the negative side is usually just a ground
What terminals do the electrons flow through a circuit?
from negative to positive.
How does electricity flow from a battery through a circuit?
Not as you might think. Electricity flows FROM the negative pole, through the circuit, and then electrons flow into the positive pole.
In automotive electrical circuits current is considered to flow from where to where?
In an automotive electrical circuit, current is considered to flow from negative to positive in that circuit. Electrons leave the negative terminal of the battery, flow through any complete circuits, and return to the positive terminal of the battery.
What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)

Do electrons flow in only one direction?
Yes. Electrical current only flows in a closed circuit. If it were an open circuit, there would be no current.AnswerAn interesting question. The answer is.... not necessarily! I say this because a capacitor is an open circuit, yet it allows d.c. current to flow for a short period of time (while it charges), and it allows a.c. current to flow continuously.
What is the polarity of a circuit?
The polarity of a circuit is dependent upon the type of circuit. Direct current circuits have one negative pole and one positive pole and they flow in one direction. Alternating current circuits the electron flow reverses because the tow poles alternate between negative and positive.
What is a complete electric circuit?
A complete electric circuit is basically an electric circuit in which the electrons flow from negative terminal to positive terminal without any disturbance. The switch has to be closed in order for this to work otherwise, the flow will be broken.
What is the direction of conventional current in an external circuit?
The conventional direction of current flow in a DC circuit is from positive to negative. In reality the electron flow is from negative to positive. Most electronic schematics today still use the conventional current flow when drawn.
What direction does a circuit flow?
Conventional current flow positive to negative. Electron current flow negative to positive. With newer testing methods these days these statements are being revised as to whether that are completely correct as stated.
What means the direction of current flow?
Electrical current flow through a circuit is normally from negative toward positive.
What does the positive side of the battery do?
When connected to the cable which normally runs to the starter it completes the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
