प्रश्न
What is the conventional direction of the flow of electric current? How does it differ from the direction of flow electrons?
उत्तर
The conventional direction of the flow of electric current is from the positive terminal of a cell or a battery to its negative terminal through the outer circuit, whereas the direction of flow of electrons is from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a cell.
