Question

What is the direction of current in an electric circuit?

  1. Positive terminal to negative terminal
  2. Positive terminal to positive terminal
  3. Negative terminal to negative terminal
  4. Negative terminal to positive terminal

hintHint:

The positive terminal of the cell is connected to the negative terminal shows the typical direction of current flow.

The correct answer is: Positive terminal to negative terminal


    The flow of current in an electric circuit will be from a positive terminal to the negative terminal.
    • The direction of the flow of current is opposite to that of the electrons.
    • The electrons in a circuit flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
    • Thus, the flow of current by convention will be from positive terminal to the negative terminal.
