In an electric circuit,state the relationship between the direction of conventional current and the direction of flow of electrons.
(N/A) The direction of conventional current is defined as the direction in which positive charges would move. Since electrons are negatively charged,they flow in the direction opposite to the conventional current. Therefore,the direction of conventional current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons.
