Question:
is conventional current & normal current same ?
Answer:

Conventional current is the current that is assumed to flow out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of the source. This was the convention chosen during the discovery of electricity. However, in practice, it is not correct.

In normal current, the direction of electron Flow is actually out of the negative terminal, through the circuit and into the positive terminal of the source.

That is the difference between conventional current and normal current.
