Answer:
The electrons being negatively charged travel in the direction opposite to the direction of the electric field.
We know that the electric potential decreases in the direction of the electric field. Thus, it can be said that the electrons flow from the region of lower potential towards that of higher potential.

Answer:
A positive charge moves from a region of higher potential to a region of lower potential. A negative charge does exactly the opposite. Since electron has negative charge, it travels from lower potential to higher potential.
