What is a conventional current?
Conventional current shows current flow from + to - amp meters are labeled this way (conventional current flow) (hole flow) Physics shows that electrons are moving or flowing from - to + (electron flow) Tubes (deforest valves) sort of blew conventional current away semiconductors with different doping materials confuse it more so most new books relate to electron flow voltmeters ammeters are labeled the same since the 18th century
Is conventional current noun?
The term 'conventional current' is a singular, common, compound noun; a word for current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive.
How are convention current caused?
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
What is the difference between electronic current and conventional current?
Difference between conventional current and electric current? • Electric current can be either negative or positive, but conventional current is always positive.• The conventional current for an electron flow is positive, whereas the electrical current is negative.• For a flow of positive charges, both the electric current and the conventional current are the same.• Since almost every electrical circuit uses an electron flow, it can be safely stated that the conventional current = - electrical current.• In conventional current, the flow of electrons is assumed as a flow of protons on the opposite direction.
The opposite direction of conventional current?
It doesn't always do so, but it does, in the case of an electron current."Conventional current" is, by definition, the equivalent of a flow of positive electric charge. So, if a current consists of positive carriers (e.g., holes, or positive ions), the conventional current flows in the same direction as the current carriers. On the other hand, if the current consists of negative carriers (like electrons - the most common carrier for electric current), the electrons flow in one direction, but the conventional (positive, fictitious you might say) current flows in the other direction.On a macroscopic scale, it is often useful to forget about the actual current carriers; for example, an electron current flowing to the left, and a current of positive ions flowing to the right, will have the same effect on a magnetic field.It doesn't always do so, but it does, in the case of an electron current."Conventional current" is, by definition, the equivalent of a flow of positive electric charge.

What is the Ammount of current flowing?
The measurement of how fast the current is flowing is the Ampere.
Do electrons really flow when current flows?
That means that there is actually something - the electrons - flowing in the specified direction. On the other hand, the "conventional current" is defined as the equivalent flow of positive charge. In the case that the charge carriers are negative (such as electrons), the conventional current flows in the opposite direction to the actual movement of charges.
What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
Are the conventional and electronic current the same?
No, conventional current is the flow of positive charge whereas current is actually the flow of negative electrons.
Does current always go from positive to negative?
We call this Conventional Current Flow, where imaginary positively charged particles are repelled away from a positive charge and attracted towards a negative charge.The reality is that electrons are actually flowing through the conductor. Electrons are negatively charged particles and flow from negative to positive. It's just easier to think of a positive current flowing than a negative current.
Why making rating as the current flowing immediately before the switch is closed must be zero?
Rephrase your question so that it makes sense! <<>> The current through the switch before being closed is zero. The current in the circuit does not start flowing until the circuit's switch is closed.
Why do you analyze electric circuit on the basis of the conventional current?
You can analyze it by either conventional or electron current, other than the sign they give the same answers. However it is convention to use conventional current, that is the way others will expect to see it done. That is also why it is called conventional current, it is the convention.
