Question 16

In an electric circuit, a metal wire is connected across a direct current (d.c.) power supply. Which statement correctly describes the flow of electrons and conventional current in the wire?

A

Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, which is the same direction as conventional current.

B

Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, which is opposite to the direction of conventional current.

C

Electrons flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, which is the same direction as conventional current.

D

Electrons flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, which is opposite to the direction of conventional current.
