Question

Is the conventional current flow the same direction as the flow of the electrons A yes b no?

Answer 1

The conventional current flow is **not** the same direction as the flow of electrons.

In electrical circuits, **conventional current** is defined as the flow of positive charge. By convention, it flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a power source.

However, in reality, electrons, which carry a negative charge, flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. So, the direction of electron flow is opposite to the direction of conventional current flow.

So, the correct answer is: **b) no**.

Answer 2

The correct answer is **B No**.

The conventional current flow and the actual flow of electrons are in opposite directions. Here's why:

- **Conventional Current Flow**: This is the direction in which current is considered to flow in a circuit, and it was defined before the discovery of the electron. By convention, current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a power source.

- **Flow of Electrons**: Electrons, being negatively charged, actually flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.

So, while conventional current flow is described as moving from positive to negative, the actual electron flow is from negative to positive.
