Question

In an electric circuit, state the relationship between the direction of conventional current and the direction of flow of electrons.

Answer 1

When a switch is switched on, the electrons start moving. We know, that current is defined as the flow of electrons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles, so getting attracted towards the oppositely(+ vely) charged terminal, they flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.

Conventional current flows exactly the opposite direction to the direction towards which electronic current flows, i.e. the conventional current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

Answer 2

Answer:

They move in Opposite directions. Flow of conventional current is the direction of flow of Protons , and since direction of flow of Electrons is opposite to that , they flow in opposite directions.
