Figure 9.6 Current I is the rate at which charge moves through an area A, such as the cross-section of a wire. Conventional current is defined to move in the direction of the electrical field. (a) Positive charges move in the direction of the electrical field, which is the same direction as conventional current.

17.7: The Direction of Electron Flow and its Implications
Since the direction of electron flow in the external circuit determines the directions in which the half-reactions occur, the chemical reaction that occurs in the cell must occur in the opposite direction also. When the direction of current flow through a cell is determined by connection to a greater potential difference in this fashion, the ...
13.3: Lenz''s Law
Alternatively, we can determine the direction of the induced current by treating the current loop as an electromagnet that opposes the approach of the north pole of the bar magnet. This occurs when the induced current flows as shown, for then the face of the loop nearer the approaching magnet is also a north pole.

kirchhoffs laws
Here the author showed an arrow out of each battery to show positive if flowing out. But highest voltage or rather the voltage differences will determine the polarity or actual resulting direction of current. So here an +i shown going out. If i becomes -ve from voltage differences later, then you know it is being charged up. So the initial ...

Battery Arrangement and Power
In many devices that use batteries -- such as portable radios and flashlights -- you don''t use just one cell at a time. You normally group them together in a serial arrangement to increase the voltage or in a parallel arrangement to increase current.The diagram shows these two arrangements. The upper diagram shows a …
22.9: Magnetic Fields Produced by Currents
Magnetic Field Created by a Long Straight Current-Carrying Wire: Right Hand Rule 2. Magnetic fields have both direction and magnitude. As noted before, one way to explore the direction of a magnetic field is with compasses, as shown for a long straight current-carrying wire in Figure (PageIndex{1}).
22.1: Magnetic Flux, Induction, and Faraday''s Law
Right hand rule gives the current direction shown, and the polarity of the rod will drive such a current. To find the magnitude of EMF induced along the moving rod, we use Faraday''s law of induction without the sign: ... The liquid battery (right) provides a current which flows through the small coil (A), creating a magnetic field. When the ...
2.5: Polarity and direction of current flow
Polarity is also important for determining the direction of current flow. In Figure 10 the current leaves the source at the negative terminal, travels around the circuit in a clockwise direction, and re …
2.1.2: Conventional Current Flow and Electron Flow
Why do we define the direction of current as the positive charge flow direction? Benjamin Franklin (pictured in Figure 2.1.2.1 ) began experimenting with the phenomenon of electricity in 1746. In 1752 he performed his famous kite experiment proving that lightning is a form of electricity by capturing charge from storm clouds in a leyden jar …

The emf will in turn determine the direction of the induced current which will try to oppose the change producing it. What happens is that overall for the whole loop the direction of the induced …
Direction of current and direction of flow of electrons
For a battery, the terminal at higher potential is chosen to be positive and the terminal at a lower potential is chosen to be negative. $endgroup$ – Yashas. Commented Mar 1, 2017 at 13:48 ... The convention is that the direction of electric current is the direction of positive charge flow.
What is the direction of the electricity flow in a DC circuit?
$begingroup$ There is a convention for the technical direction of the current: positive current flows from the plus pole of a battery to the minus pole by convention. The microscopic details of conduction in a specific medium/conductor are a different thing. In some conductors, like metals, it is actually electrons that flow.

B)By convention, the direction of a current is taken to be the direction of flow for negative …
20.3 Electromagnetic Induction
Induced Electromotive Force. If a current is induced in the coil, Faraday reasoned that there must be what he called an electromotive force pushing the charges through the coil. This interpretation turned out to be incorrect; instead, the external source doing the work of moving the magnet adds energy to the charges in the coil.
