Question

Direction of conventional current is from:

• A. Negative terminal to positive terminal
• B. Positive terminal to negative terminal
• C. In any direction
• D. In both the directions

Hint:

Remember:

textbfConventional current: Positive → Negative
textbfElectron flow: Negative → Positive

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the definition of conventional current. Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charge. Step 2: Determine the direction of flow. Since positive charges are assumed to move: \[ \text{Conventional current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal} \] Step 3: Analyze the options.

(A) Direction of electron flow — incorrect
(B) Correct direction of conventional current ✔
(C) Incorrect — current has a defined direction
(D) Incorrect — current does not flow both ways
Step 4: Final conclusion. The direction of conventional current is from positive terminal to negative terminal. \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
