In conventional circuit diagrams, what is taken as the direction of electric current in a conducting wire?

पारंपरिक परिपथ आरेखों में, एक चालक तार में विद्युत धारा (electric current) की दिशा क्या मानी जाती है?

Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charge, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal outside the cell. This convention was fixed before the electron was discovered and is still used in circuit diagrams.

(B) The actual electron flow is opposite to the conventional current.

(C) Negative to positive terminal is the direction of electrons outside the cell, not the convention.

(D) Current does not flow 'from higher to lower resistance'; direction depends on potential.

Inside the cell, conventional current flows from the negative to the positive terminal.

In an electrolyte, positive and negative ions both carry current in opposite directions.

In a metal only electrons carry current.

Potential difference is what drives the current.
