Question

how is the direction of electric current related to the direction of flow of electron in a wise

Answer 1

Conventionally, in an electric circuit the direction of electric current is taken as opposide to the direction of the flow of electrons, which are negative charges.

Conventionally, in an electric circuit the direction of electric current is taken as opposide to the direction of the flow of electrons, which are negative charges.

At first, even before the discovery of electrons, the circuit was used. Hence, the direction of current was taken as +
ve to -ve. But afterwards, it was known that this was completely opp. to reality, i.e. -ve to +ve. But till then, a lot of diagrams had been prepared and used. Thus,
CONVENTIONAL Current : +ve to -ve
Flow of ELECTRONS : -ve to +ve
