Direction of Electric on a Circle

[FiskiranZeka]

1) The electrons moves from - to + Right ?
2) So, the electric goes from + to - ? Or the electric follows the same way the electrons go ( from - to + ? ) Why ? can u explain please. Thanks.

I can explain the direction of electric current and how it relates to the movement of electrons on a circle.
1) Yes, electrons in a circuit generally move from the negative (-) terminal of a battery to the positive (+) terminal. This is because electrons are negatively charged particles and are attracted to the positively charged terminal.
2) The direction of electric current is opposite to the direction of electron flow. So, while electrons move from - to +, the electric current flows from + to -. This is because electric current is defined as the flow of positive charge, which is opposite to the direction of electron flow.
To put it simply, imagine a group of people walking in a circle. If they all walk in the same direction, the movement of the group is in one direction, but the individuals within the group are moving in the opposite direction. Similarly, in a circuit, the electrons move in one direction, but the electric current, which is the overall flow of charge, moves in the opposite direction.
I hope this explanation helps to clarify the concept of electric current and the direction of electron flow in a circuit.
