Current means flow.
Electric current means flow of electric charges
Now there are two kind of charges. They are positive and negative
But current is defined as the flow of positive charges
But in metallic wires there is no chance for positive charges to flow through. Only loosely bound electrons with negative charge are capable of flowing. So current is case of metallic wire is due to electrons. So we have to assign as "conventional current". Conventional current is always opposite to the flow of electron flow
Now from a battery current (conventional) flows right from positive polarity to the negative polarity.
But within batter is has to flow right from negative to positive so as to complete the circuit of flow.
What else can I help you with?
Why does batteries have direct current?
In direct current, the electric charges flow in the same direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC). current (AC). According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current A battery has two terminals- a positive and a negative.When a battery is in use, current flows from the positive terminal of the battery around the circuit back to the negative terminal in one direction. according to http://www.teachnet.ie/torourke/basics.htm
Do electrons travel in the same direction in a circuit?
In a circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the voltage source (such as a battery). This flow of electrons is opposite to the conventional current direction, which is from positive to negative. So, while electrons themselves move in one direction, the conventional current moves in the opposite direction.
What type of electrical current does a battery produce?
A battery produces direct current (DC) because the flow of electric charge is unidirectional, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.
In which direction does conventional current flow?
Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charges. If the actual flow is negative particles (as is often the case; usually electrons), the conventional current flows in the direction opposite to the electron flow.
What are uses of conventional current?
Conventional current is used in electronics to represent the flow of positive charge from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a battery. It is used to simplify circuit analysis and design. It helps in understanding the direction of current flow in a circuit.
Why do batteries only supply direct current?
The nature of the chemical reactions taking place in a battery cause electric current to flow only in one direction.
Is the direction of current through a battery always from negative to positive on the terminals?
Conventional current flow is from positive to negative. Electron flow is from negative to positive
Why does batteries have direct current?

How you can indicate the current direction in the network?
If we go for the diagramatic representation then battery positive is represented by the long terminal and battery negative is represented by the short terminal then the direction of the current is given by an arrow from positive terminal to negative terminal (Therotically electrons flow from negative to positive but we represent current flow from positive to negative. This is the sign convention )
When the flow of a current is aways in one direction?
When the flow of current is aways in one direction it is known as direct current.
What is current direction?
Outside the battery, it is negative to positive and inside the battery it is positive to negative.
What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?
The direction of current due to flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of conventional current. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so when they flow in a wire, they are actually moving in the opposite direction to the current flow defined by convention.
What type of current will a circuit that involves a battery and electrons traveling in one direction have?
a battery always produces a direct current.the electrons always travel from the negetiove to the positive terminal.But the direction of the current is the opposite that is from the positive to the negetive terminal.
Does the direction of emf provided by the battery depend on the direction of the current flow through the battery?
Yes, the direction of the electromotive force (emf) provided by the battery does depend on the direction of the current flow through the battery. The emf is always in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons within the battery, which is also the direction of conventional current flow. This is based on the concept of the conservation of energy and the work done by the battery to move charges through the circuit.
What causes a posite current in a battery?
A electrical from a battery is the flow of elecrons through a circuit in the opposite dirrection to the current flow. This current flow also happens inside the battery between the plates.
Do electrons travel in the same direction in a circuit?
In a circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the voltage source (such as a battery). This flow of electrons is opposite to the conventional current direction, which is from positive to negative. So, while electrons themselves move in one direction, the conventional current moves in the opposite direction.
What allows current to flow in one direction?
A diode is one of the fundamental building blocks of electronics. They allow the flow of electrons in one direction only. Thus are commonly used as rectifiers to turn ac voltages into dc. [A dry cell (mistakenly called a battery, which is a group of cells) will allow electron flow in one direction only, or rather, it will provide current flow in one direction. ]
