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.
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.
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
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.
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
Electric current travels through a closed circuit, flowing from a higher voltage to a lower voltage. It moves through conductive materials such as wires, where the flow of electrons creates the electric current. The rate of flow of electric current is measured in amperes.
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
I guess Electric Circuit....
The electric field in a circuit is directly related to the current flowing through it. The electric field is what drives the flow of electric charge, which is the current. In other words, the presence of an electric field is necessary for current to flow in a circuit.
If the electric circuit is broken, there will be no medium for transfer of electrons and flow of current. Hence, electric current does not exist.
Yes, the current in an electrical circuit can be negative if it flows in the opposite direction of conventional current flow.
The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.
