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.

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.
What is conventional circuit?
A conventional circuit refers to an electrical circuit that follows established principles and components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, to control the flow of electric current. It operates under the conventional current flow model, where current is assumed to flow from the positive to the negative terminal. These circuits are typically designed for specific functions, such as powering devices or processing signals, and are foundational in electronics and electrical engineering.
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
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.
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
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.)
How does electric current travel?
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.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
What is the relationship between the electric field and current in a 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.
Why can't an electric current exist if the circuit is broken?
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.
Can the current be negative in an electrical circuit?
Yes, the current in an electrical circuit can be negative if it flows in the opposite direction of conventional current flow.
