The conventional current is the name given to current due to flow of
Correct answer: A. Positive charges
- A. Positive charges
- B. Negative charges
- C. Both (a) and (b)
- D. None of these
Explanation
The conventional current refers to the direction of electric current assumed to flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, even though in reality, electrons flow in the opposite direction, from negative to positive.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
