determine the direction of convectional current
Answers
electric circuit is the direction of convectional current
Answer:
This answer assumes that you are referring to conventional current flow, which is in the opposite direction of the actual flow of electrons in a circuit.
Given a physical circuit, connect an ammeter in series or a voltmeter in parallel. If the reading displayed is positive, the current is flowing from the part of the circuit touched by the red probe (positive probe) to the part of the circuit touched by the black probe (negative probe). If the reading displayed is negative, then the current is flowing from the black probe to the red probe.
Given a circuit schematic with one voltage source, the current is flowing from the labeled positive node of the voltage source to the labeled negative node. Given a circuit schematic with one current source, the current is flowing in the direction pointed to by the arrow on the current source.
Given a circuit schematic with multiple voltage sources and/or current sources, it is hard to determine the direction of current flow by just looking at it. To analyze such a circuit, you’ll need to understand superposition, a complex topic beyond the scope of this answer.
