Question

electric current flows through a metallic conductor from its one end A to other end B. Which end of the conductor is at higher potential? Why? ​

Answer 1

$\star$A will have the higher potential than that of the B .

Potential is all about the $\tt { \blue{Charge}}$.

• Mainly higher potential means higher the charge and comparatively less the potential means lesser the charge.

• As electrons on both sides are unequal, they try to equalise so they move to the side where they are less (in terms of charge).

• But rather than this, we know that, current always flows from the opposite direction to the flow of electron.

• So we can say that current always flow from higher potential to lower potential .

Hence, Point A will be at high potential Than point B as there will be loss of some amount charge.
