Positive electrical flow is electrons flowing in one direction in a wire, if they change the direction of flow that would be a negative flow. If they change direction quickly, say 60 times a second, that would be alternating current, which is what we have in the united states as household electricity.

What does an arrow represent in an electric circuit?
An arrow in an electric circuit typically represents the direction of current flow. It indicates the flow of positive charge from the positive terminal of a voltage source to the negative terminal.
What end does electrons flow in a circuit?
the positive side, the negative side is usually just a ground
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)
In a dc circuit polarity refers to the direction of which flow?
In the US, it is common practice in a DC circuit to refer to the polarity for which "positive (+) charge" is flowing. Positive charge (current) will flow out of a voltage supply's positive (+) terminal which means positive charge will flow into the (+) terminal of a circuit load (resistor, etc). This is an arbitrary convention and may be reversed in older or foreign textbooks. In such cases all positive (+) references in the previous description would be replaced by negative, (-) notations.
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.
What terminals do the electrons flow through a circuit?
from negative to positive.
What is the direction of current flow in a DC circuit?
In a DC circuit, the direction of current flow is from the positive terminal of the voltage source to the negative terminal.
What does an arrow represent in an electric circuit?
An arrow in an electric circuit typically represents the direction of current flow. It indicates the flow of positive charge from the positive terminal of a voltage source to the negative terminal.
What is the positive end of a battery and how does it affect the flow of electricity within a circuit?
The positive end of a battery is called the anode. It provides a source of electrons that flow through the circuit to the negative end, called the cathode. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the devices connected to the circuit.
What is the conventional current flow?
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
What is conventional currunt in physics?
That means that you consider the flow of a POSITIVE charge. If negative charges happen to flow in one direction (as is often the case), you consider the equivalent flow of positive charges in the opposite direction.
What end does electrons flow in a circuit?
the positive side, the negative side is usually just a ground
In automotive electrical circuits current is considered to flow from where to where?
In an automotive electrical circuit, current is considered to flow from negative to positive in that circuit. Electrons leave the negative terminal of the battery, flow through any complete circuits, and return to the positive terminal of the battery.
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)
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.
Do electrons flow in only one direction?
Yes. Electrical current only flows in a closed circuit. If it were an open circuit, there would be no current.AnswerAn interesting question. The answer is.... not necessarily! I say this because a capacitor is an open circuit, yet it allows d.c. current to flow for a short period of time (while it charges), and it allows a.c. current to flow continuously.
In a dc circuit polarity refers to the direction of which flow?
In the US, it is common practice in a DC circuit to refer to the polarity for which "positive (+) charge" is flowing. Positive charge (current) will flow out of a voltage supply's positive (+) terminal which means positive charge will flow into the (+) terminal of a circuit load (resistor, etc).
