Good afternoon sir. Current flow direction positive to negative. But electrons are flowing from negative to positive in the circuit. Why we are not taking electron flow direction is current direction. Explain sir.

Question

Arun · Answer

Dear Raju Basically, the electric current is the flow of positive charges but by the convention it is said that the current would be in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons as they have negative charge associated with it. . And if u see in semicinductors or diodes the flow of current is also due to the flow of holes with the flow of elctrons in opposte direcn. Regards Arun
