what is the correct current flow of electricity? positive to negative or negative to positive?

Answer 1

We define current as flowing being the flow of positive charges, meaning from higher potential to lower potential. However, it is actually the negatively charged electrons moving that create electric current, so it is truely the flow of negative charges.

For most purposes though, assuming that current is the flow of positive charges will not cause you any problems.

Answer 2

The current flows from negative to positive .

Answer 3

By convention, electricity is said to flow from a positive to a negative pole. But strictly speaking, since the electrons which constitute the flow of the current are themselves negative, it would also be correct to think of it as flowing from the negative to the positive pole. In practice, take it as flowing from positive to negative and you will be right.

Answer 4

It's really flow of electrons so they go from negative to positive however, all analysis techniques go way back historically so any analysis you see will use a positive to negative flow. Either approach gives the correct answer as long as you pay attention to sign conventions.

Answer 5

It is negative to positive. You will notice that people actually give a reason for this. The positive to negative just say that it is that way.

That is exactly what happened. It was randomly defined as positive to negative back in the day when people didn't know. Now they do, but since it doesn't change the results, they haven't changed the definition.

Answer 6

it's just a convention - we say that the current "flows" from positive to negative (potential). Even though the electrons move the other way of course.

Answer 7

U can prove this with a vacuum tube . The current will flow only one direction of cathode to plate or negative cathode to plate positive. If the voltage is reversed current will not flow.

Answer 8

positive to the negative

Answer 9

POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE

Answer 10

Positif to Negetif
