How does electric current flow in a wire |
|
Answer» Electric current flow opposite of direction of flowing of electron Conventional direction of current is assumed to be opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Thus, if the electrons move from left to right, the direction of current is from right to left. Thus, since electrons move from lower potential region to higher potential region, current flows from higher potential region to lower potential region 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. Electric current flow through high potential to low potential |
