state the direction of flow of current
Answers
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
Answer:
Negatively charged carriers, such as the electrons (the charge carriers in metal wires and many other electronic circuit components), therefore flow in the opposite direction of conventional current flow in an electrical circuit.
Explanation:
a flow of positive charge in a given direction is electrically equivalent to a flow of negative charge in the opposite direction. The convention is that the direction of electric current is the direction of positive charge flow.
