Conventional Current?
Hi guys,
I have a pretty simple conceptual problem that has been bugging me for a while. In a D.C. circuit, the conventional current moves from higher potential to lower potential. But the electron flow is opposite that of the conventional current. That means that the electrons move from lower potential to higher potential?? How can that be possible, since the heat loss in the wires should arise in electron flow from higher to lower potential.
