Question
Which of these is a correct definition of conventional current?
✓
Answer
- Current that flows from higher potential to lower potential.
The current that flows from a point at the higher (positive) potential to a point at lower (negative) potential is called conventional current. The direction of motion of positive charges is taken as the direction of electric current.
