Do electrons flow from positive to negative or negative to positive?
The flow of electrons is termed electron current. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. Conventional current or simply current, behaves as if positive charge carriers cause current flow. Conventional current flows from the positive terminal to the negative.
When a battery is connected in a circuit electrons leave from the positive terminal?
Because the charge of electrons is negative and positive is one with least electron presence so when you connect the wire, electrons flow from negative to positive to balance the power system. So the direction of electrons is from negative to positive. a very good question !
How does current flow in a series circuit negative to positive?
A: Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.
How does current flow from negative to positive?
The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.
When the wire is connected to a cell electrons in the wire flows from the positive terminal of the cell to the negative terminal of the cell?
Answer: Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.
What happens when both positive and negative terminal of a cell are connected to the same terminal of a bulb?
Answer: electric circuit, the direction of current is taken to be from the positive to the negative terminal of the electric cell as shown in Fig. When the terminals of the bulb are connected with that of the electric cell by wires, the current passes through the filament of the bulb. This makes the bulb glow.
