I have to draw a schematic diagram and include 3 batteries, 3 light bulbs, 1 resister and 1 switch. I Have to put the resistor between the 2nd and 3rd bulbs. What I was wondering is which way does the current flow fromthe batery. does it flow out of the positive which means the switch would be before the negative. or vise versa? Confusing !

Current flow is regarded as the flow of positive charge, which means it opposes the direction of flow of negatively charged electrons. As a result, current flows from the positive end of the battery.

By convention current flow is from positive to negative.

only think of roughly some ammount of water saved in a jar at a top. The jar has a pipeline popping out of it which has a faucet on the top. If tahe faucet is closed then there is not any water pass contained in direction of the pipeline. in case you open it slightly water comes out dropwise and the extra you flow on openning extra is the pass. Now only convert here water = electrons pipeline = conductor faucet = resistance water pass contained in direction of the pipe = present day contained in direction of the conductor Electrons pass from positions of better unfastened electron concentration in the direction of decrease electron concentrations. the two positions can basically be seperated if and on condition that the gap in betwwen them is seperated with the aid of a noticeably resistive substance. If the resistance decreases then there is pass of electrons from bigger to diminish concentrations. This pass is named electric present day.

The switch will actually work anywhere in the circuit. All it has to do is break that circuit to stop the current flow.
