My book says that positive charges drift in the direction of electric field, and negative charges drift in the direction opposite of electric fields
But wouldn't that depend on if the electric field was generated from a positive or negative charge? How can they just make a generalization like that?
And it also says that current density is in the direction of current if charge is positive, but opposite if charge is negative...why is that?
