Question

1. How is direction of eletric current related to direction of flow of electrons in a wire?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The direction of the flow of current in a wire is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

 A flow of positive charges gives the same electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention for the direction of current which is independent of the type of charge carriers are needed. The direction of conventional current is defined arbitrarily to be the direction of the flow of positive charges.

In metals, which make up the wires and other conductors in most electric circuits, the positive charges are immobile, and the charge carriers are electrons. Because the electron carries negative charge, the electrons motion in a metal conductor is in the direction opposite to that of conventional (or electric) current.
