because current flows in the opposite direction of the flow of electron.since electrons are negatively charged particle they moves towards the positive and hence current flows in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons (that is from positive to negative)
What else can I help you with?
How are convention current caused?
Conventional current flow is current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive. See Related Links
Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?
When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
Does current always go from positive to negative?
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.
Is conventional current noun?
The term 'conventional current' is a singular, common, compound noun; a word for current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive.
What is the terminal voltage using the Kirchoff's law?
current flowing into the node are taken to be negative, and currents flowing out of the node are positive. It should not really matter which you choose to be the positive or negative current, as long as you stay consistent. However, it may be a good idea to find out the convention used in your schema
When electricity flows from the positive pole to the negative pole its called?
DC current?Another answer:Conventional current. Meaning, it is following the convention of charge flowing from positive to negative, even though we know from physics that electrons actually flow from negative to positive. Conventional current is used in most electrical engineering calculations.
What is the name of the circuit has current flowing in a loop from the negative battery terminal in the positive battery terminal?
its called a direct current aka DC
What is the significance of obtaining a negative reading in testing voltage?
Electric current can flow in one of two directions in a wire; with alternating current, the direction changes continually, back and forth. The use of positive and negative values for voltage gives you a direction for the voltage. If current flowing to the right is positive, then current flowing to the left is negative.============================Answer #2:A negative reading indicates that the point to which the positive probe ofthe voltmeter is connected is at a lower potential than the point to whichthe negative meter probe is connected. It tells nothing about the circuitconditions except in combination with the knowledge of how the meteris connected.
What happens when you touch the negative battery cable to the positive battery cable?
current flows from the negative to the positive cable and back into the battery cells, recombining with the element depleted of electrons that are flowing out the negative cable. The process is not 100% efficient and the battery will eventually cease producing current.
The triangle in a diode symbol points in the direction of?
it points in the direction of flowing current due to majority carriers... that is from positive side to negative side
Is the direction of current through a battery always from negative to positive on the terminals?
Conventional current flow is from positive to negative. Electron flow is from negative to positive
Does an ammeter have a positive and negative terminal?
Yes, an ammeter typically has positive and negative terminals, which are used to indicate the direction of current flow. When connecting an ammeter in a circuit, the positive terminal should be connected to the more positive point in the circuit, while the negative terminal should be connected to the more negative point. This ensures accurate readings of the current flowing through the circuit. However, some ammeters can measure current in either direction without damage, depending on their design.
