Electrons in a Direct Current (DC) flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal due to the forces of attraction and repulsion. When a positive charge is applied at one end of a wire and a negative charge at the other, electrons are attracted to the positive end and repelled by the negative end. This continuous movement is driven by the negative charge behind the electrons pushing them forward and the positive charge in front pulling them towards it. There is no scenario where electrons meet in the middle; they are consistently in motion towards the positive terminal.

Well explained sir!Nugatory said:Electrons are repelled by negative charges (including other electrons) and attracted by positive charges. If I apply a positive charge at one end of a wire and a negative charge at the other, electrons will be attracted towards the positive end and repelled by the negative end, so will tend to move from the positive end to the negative end. There's no "meet in the middle" going on; no matter where in the wire the electrons are, they're being pushed by the negative charge behind them and pulled by the positive in front of them.
