Question

What is the direction of electrons 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 constant flow of electrons in an electric circuit is what causes electric current.
The positive terminal of the cell is connected to the negative terminal in the typical direction of current flow. Thus, electrons flow from the cell's negative terminal to its positive terminal.

The correct answer is: Negative terminal to positive terminal


    The direction of electrons in an electric circuit is from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
    • The constant flow of electrons in an electric circuit is what causes electric current.
    • The electrons in an electric circuit flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
    • The electrons have a negative charge and they are getting attracted to the positive terminal.
    • This is why the electrons in a battery or a circuit flow from the negative to the positive terminal.
