Question

Explain why current and electrons have opposite direction in circuit​

Answer 1

Answer:

By convention we take direction of flow of positive charges as positive and those of negative charges as negative. Current is defined as rate of flow of charge. here charge is generally of electrons, which is negative, hence the direction of current is opposite to that of direction of motion of electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.
