We call this Conventional Current Flow, where imaginary positively charged particles are repelled away from a positive charge and attracted towards a negative charge.
The reality is that electrons are actually flowing through the conductor. Electrons are negatively charged particles and flow from negative to positive. It's just easier to think of a positive current flowing than a negative current.

How you go on with your peers?
The best way to go on with your peers is to only engage in activities that are positive, and always resist negative peer pressure.
What number goes into 750?
The following are factors of 750, meaning they go into 750 a certain number of times. To find out how many times the number goes into 750, find the corresponding number on the other side of the array. For instance to see how many times 5 goes into 750, find the 4th-last number in the array (150):1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 125, 150, 250, 375, 750
What will happen to the slope of a line if the line is shifted so that the y intercept increases and the x intercept remains the same?
The answer depends on the signs of the original intercepts.x negative, y negative: negative slope becomes less negative and could go positive.x negative, y positive: positive slope becomes greater.x positive, y negative: positive slope becomes less positive and could go negative.x positive, y positive: negative slope becomes more negative.For 1 and 3, the slope changes sign when the y intercept crosses the origin.
How many times negative 13 go on to positive 39?
negative 3 times
How can you go from being negative to being positive?
well: Multiplication: for example... -1 X -1= 1(positive) so a negative times negative is always come out positive. Same thing as dividing too. Example: -x + 2= 0 -x= -2 then buy multiplying by -1 (-x= -2) -1 x= 2 Addition and subtractions: 5- (-2)= because the negative is subtracted it become positive 5 + 2= 7 5 + -2= 3 become positive, because negative 2 is added to a higher positive number. hope this answers your question
How you can indicate the current direction in the network?
If we go for the diagramatic representation then battery positive is represented by the long terminal and battery negative is represented by the short terminal then the direction of the current is given by an arrow from positive terminal to negative terminal (Therotically electrons flow from negative to positive but we represent current flow from positive to negative. This is the sign convention )
Why does a negative multiplied by a negative equal a positive?
The answer to this is a little counterintuitive. positive X positive = positive negative X positive = negative positive X negative = negative negative X negative = positive Do you see the pattern? Two positives and two negatives will always be positive. Think of yourself standing on a number line. If you're a positive number you will be facing to the right. If you are multiplied by a positive number you will move to the right (positive). If you are negative number, you will be facing to the left, but when multiplied by a negative number you have to move backwards, which is now to the right--a positive number! Think of yourself as always facing right when a positive number and facing left when a negative number and then go forward or backward with the next number.
Should positive go to positive in a circuit?
No, this will not work. Postitive to Negative/Negative to Positive will work.
Can an electric current move in two directions at once?
Not simultaneously. Though it can alternate. If you mean in one circuit there can be alternative directions in which the current can move. Electrical currents go from the negative to the positive since electron (electricity is a lot of electrons) is negative so is directed to the positive.

Where do the negative ions go?
Negative ions go to a positive electrode.
Where does the positive ion go?
Positive ions go to the negative electrode.
Why is negative times a negative a positive?
think of it like this a negative times a positive don't go together in a relationship they have to have the same attitude
How are positive and negative numbers placed on a number line?
Positive numbers go to the right of zero, negative numbers go to the left of zero.
What are atoms OR groups of atoms with a positive OR negative charge?
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
Which of the battery cables of Mazda MPV is positive and negative?
the negative cable is the one tha go to the chassy or the engine . And the positive go to the fuse box.
Can pregnancy test be negative one day and be positive two days later?
