Just a couple of questions on conventional current that have been troubling me...
Firstly, does conventional current = electric current? I saw a question on a past exam that had "electric" current in a cable flowing from north to south, and asked to determine the direction of the magnetic field directly above the cable. The answer was west - so thus electric current == conventional current?
Secondly, if it is not stated on diagrams which show the direction of current, should it be assumed that it is depicting conventional current?
Thanks in advance
