MCQ
Which type of current is flowing through a circuit?
  • A
    Static current
  • B
    Conventional current
  • C
    Electronic current
  • D
    Potential current

Answer

  1. Electronic current

Explanation:

The carriers of electric current are electrons. The current in a circuit is due to the flow of electrons. Therefore, the direction of the conventional current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons.
