Question:
It is told that electronic current travels from negative to positive and conventional current opposite. How can there be two directions of current
Answer:
When electricity was discovered, scientists at that time were not aware of electrons. They thought that positive ions were responsible for current. Therefore, they decided that the direction of current would be from positive to negative.
This current is the conventional current.
But after the discovery of electrons, It was clear that the motion of electrons is the reason behind electric current.and the direction of this electric current is in the opposite direction of the motion of electons.
