Does it flow from positive to negative or negative to positive?

Electricity is caused by potential difference (voltage), which causes the flow of electrons (-).
Electric current flows from the negative (-) pole to the positive pole (+). In the case of a parallel circuit, electricity will generally take the shortest path from the (-) to the (+) of the voltage source.

Electrons flow from negative to positive.

in a direction opposite to the direction of flow of charges
so from positive to negative as the charges (electrons) flow from negative to positive

Negative to positive.

The equations for describing those flows are same in nature: for water bypass use the continutiy equation: Q=VA the place Q is the quantity of fluid, A is the portion of the conductor and V is the fee of bypass, persons versed in electric powered concept will immediaely comprehend that this may be a assertion of Ohm"s regulation E = IR mechanical engineers would see a similarity with s = at or F= ma together as civil engineers will keep in mind rigidity = M x section modulus. All of this may be a elementary indication that mechanics is mechanics regardless of the fabric.

I believe it goes from negative to pos. After all, the electrons do the moving, not the protons.

electric current flows from higher potential to lower potential. the lower potential is represented by (-)sgn and the higher potential by (+) sign.
