[amp_mcq option1=”from right to left” option2=”from positive to negative” option3=”from negative to positive” option4=”from neutral to positive E. None of the above” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. from negative to positive.
Electron current is the flow of electrons through a conductor. It is often described as flowing from positive to negative, but this is actually the direction of conventional current, which is the flow of positive charge. Electrons actually flow in the opposite direction, from negative to positive.
Conventional current is used because it is easier to visualize. It is also the direction that most circuit diagrams use. However, it is important to remember that electron current flows in the opposite direction.
Option A is incorrect because electrons flow from negative to positive.
Option B is incorrect because conventional current flows from positive to negative, but electron current flows in the opposite direction.
Option C is correct because electrons flow from negative to positive.
Option D is incorrect because electrons do not flow from neutral to positive.
Option E is incorrect because electron current flows from negative to positive.
