"Read , Recall and Procure"

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...

Electric current is defined as the rate of transfer of charge. The direction of conventional current is always given by the direction in which positive charge moves. This can be achieved either by moving positive charges in this direction, or by moving negative charges (ie. electrons) in the opposite...

Electric current is defined as the rate of transfer of charge. The direction of conventional current is always given by the direction in which positive charge moves. This can be achieved either by moving positive charges in this direction, or by moving negative charges (ie. electrons) in the opposite direction. If you are moving electrons then the side which they are going to becomes negative and the side they are leaving becomes positive. Since direction of current is towards the positive, the current is in the opposite direction to flow of electrons read less

The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field direction within a circuit is by definition the direction that positive test charges are pushed. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric field. But while electrons...

The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field direction within a circuit is by definition the direction that positive test charges are pushed. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric field. But while electrons are the charge carriers in metal wires, the charge carriers in other circuits can be positive charges, negative charges or both. In fact, the charge carriers in semiconductors, street lamps and fluorescent lamps are simultaneously both positive and negative charges traveling in opposite directions. read less

Convention states the direction of current to be in direction of positive charges. Ben Franklin, who conducted extensive scientific studies in both static and current electricity, envisioned positive charges as the carriers of charge. As such, an early convention for the direction of an electric current was established to be in the direction that positive charges would move. The convention has stuck and is still used today. read less

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. Knowing that the actual charge carriers in wires are negatively charged electrons may make this convention seem a bit odd and outdated. Nonetheless, it is the convention that is used worldwide and one that a student of physics can easily become accustomed to. read less

When the circuit is closed, it is said that the current passes through it from the positive terminal to the negative terminal through the connecting wires. The electrons which account for the current flow from the negative terminal to positive terminal through the connecting cables. So the direction of electric current is opposite to the flow of electrons.
