Question

why is the flow of electric current always from positive to negative terminal. i want the correct answer i will give you brainliest no spam answers plss i will give u brainliest

Answer 1

This was the convention chosen during the discovery of electricity. They were wrong! Electron Flow is what actually happens and electrons flow out of thenegative terminal, through the circuit and into the positive terminal of the source. Both Conventional Current and Electron Flow are used.

please add brainlest and follow e

Answer 2

The flow of electric current occurs because we have a high potential of electrons gathered at the positive terminal and a low potential of electrons at the negative terminal.  It doesn't have so much to do with the charge associated with each one as it does with the fact you have an inequality between amounts of electrons available.  When you complete the circuit by turning on the switch, the electrons flow naturally from the high potential to the low potential, which is from the positive pole to the negative pole.  Think of it this way:  if you have a stream of water, and you build a dam to hold back the water, you get a buildup, a reserve of water behind the dam.  When you open the floodgate of the dam, you start a "flow" of water from the excess water you have available.  This water quite readily flows to the lower levels in front of the dam, where the water levels are low.  It is the same with the flow of electric current through a circuit.
