Electrons are in random motion in a material, such that there is no resultant electron movement. Hence a material has no current flow by its own.
Only the directed flow of this charge in a direction, will results in current. when we provide sufficient energy (for example by mean of applied potential difference ) the net motion of the electron gives rise to the current flow.
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
Electron flow, or just current. The more electrons flowing per second, the higher the 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
1.6x10^19 amperes is the amount of current that a flow of an electron will contain.
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.
When we consider electron flow, we think of moving electrons. The electron has a negative charge. This model of current flow, the electron current flow model, follows the movement of those negative charges.As a contrast, we might consider what is called conventional current flow. And that the model of current involves the movement of charges with a positive polarity.
Conventional current flow refers to a flow of positive charges. It is a kind of ficticious current. If - as is often the case - the real current is an electron flow (negative charges), then the conventional flow is a current in the opposite direction as the electron movements, since this would have the same effect (for example on the magnetic field, or on conservation of charge).
The current flow is from positive to negative whereas electron flow is from negative to positive.
by creating a current flowing circuit
the charge of the electron is negative
P to N
The "flow of current" is considered to be in the opposite direction.
