DC current?

Another answer:

Conventional current. Meaning, it is following the convention of charge flowing from positive to negative, even though we know from physics that electrons actually flow from negative to positive. Conventional current is used in most electrical engineering calculations.

What particle moves when electricity flows through a circuit?

Electrons are the particles that move when electricity flows through a circuit. They carry a negative charge and flow from the negative terminal of the power source to the positive terminal.

What electricity always travels from the To the?

Electricity always flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal in a closed circuit. This flow of electricity is known as the conventional current.


How would you describe the electron theory?

What is difference between positive current and negative current which current is used for generation of electricity?

Positive current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, while negative current flows in the opposite direction. In electrical systems, positive current is used for generating electricity as it represents the flow of electrons from negative to positive, which is the direction of conventional current flow.


What is difference between positive and negative conductor?

There is no positive and negative conductor. There are just two ends of a conductor, namely positive and negative. It is usually said that electricity flows from the positive to the negative side of a conductor, but scientists have discovered, that current consists of electrons that always flows from the negative to the positive side.


Does energy flow through the negative or positive of a battery?

Energy flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a battery.


How does electricity flow from a battery through a circuit?

Electricity flows from a battery through a circuit when a complete path is created for the electrons to move. Electrons move from the negative terminal of the battery through the circuit to the positive terminal. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the components in the circuit.


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)
