Question:
What is the difference between electronic current and conventional current?
Why are their directions opposite?
Answer:
Conventional current is an assumption of the direction of flow of current being opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Conventional current flows out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of the source.
Electronic current is the flow of electrons from out of the negative terminal, through the circuit and into the positive terminal of the source.
