Real current refers to an analysis of the charges that actually flow - for example electrons in a metal - as opposed to the "conventional current", that uses a ficticious current of positive charges. If the electrons move to the left, the "conventional current" moves to the right. If positive charges (e.g. ions) move to the right, the conventional current also is to the right.

Difference between electron flow and conventional current?
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).
Comparison of Counter-current flow and parallel flow?
Counter-current flow is more efficient then parallel flow. Shahzad, MUET Chemical Engineer
Where are circuits used?
Circuits are used anywhere you want to have an electrical current flow. Without a circuit, you cannot have current flow. Without current flow, you cannot do any work.
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
If current flow in both direction in mosfet?
Do you mean "can current flow in both directions"? In theory, yes.
Difference between electron flow and conventional current?
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).
Do the electrons flow in conventional current?
A conventional current is a fictitious current - a flow of positive charges. If the real current consists of electrons, the conventional current flows in the opposite direction as the electron movement. The real current may also consist of other charged particles, for example positive or negative ions in a solution.
A use of periodic functions in real life?
determing current flow in ammeters
How convenional current flow negative to positive?
A conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charges. If - as is often the case - the real particles have a negative charge, and they move, say, from left to right, then the conventional current flows from right to left.
What are the advantages of co-current flow?
A Counter-current flow has more advantages as comapared to a co-current flow.
What is a current flow restrictor?
A current flow restrictor is a diode.
True or False an electromagnet is created when electric current flows through a compass needle?
The real question should be how do you get current to flow through a compass needle.
Voltage is pressure and current is flow what opposes flow?
Reverse current.
Is it possible to flow current wireless?
No it is not possible to flow current wireless.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?
Electron flow is from negative to positive. Conventional current flow is from positive to negative.
