does electricty flow from neg to pos or pos to neg?

Answer 1

The electrons flow from negative to positive. Remember, electrons have a negative charge. There is another form of drawing circuits, I can't remember what it's called, but it goes the other way just for ease of use.

Answer 2

We say that electricity flows from the positive (+) terminal of a battery to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. We can imagine particles with positive electric charge flowing in this direction around the circuit, like the red dots in the diagram.
This flow of electric charge is called conventional current.

This direction of flow is used throughout electronics and it is the one you should remember and use to understand the operation of circuits.

However this is not the whole answer because the particles that move in fact have negative charge! And they flow in the opposite direction! Please read on...

Answer 3

before electricity was very well understood, it was said to flow form pos to neg -- this is called "conventional current flow"

but electricity is (usually) the flow of electrons which are negatively charged -- hence electron flow is from neg to pos.

for simple circuit analysis, conventional flow is used.

in the world of semiconductors, you'll find out about two kinds of charge carriers, but I don't think you're ready for a discussion of holes (although it's not really that complicated).

Answer 4

The convention is that current flows from positive to negative. However, usually the charge carriers are electrons so they're actually flowing the opposite direction to the current. I bet that cleared things up, didn't it?

Answer 5

From negative, a surplus of electrons, to positive, a deficiency of electrons.
