Which direction they allow a current to pass in this drawing? This or

In summary, the purpose of this drawing is to show the direction in which a current is allowed to pass through a circuit. To determine the direction of the current, you can follow the flow of the arrows in the drawing. Knowing the direction of the current is important because it determines the flow of electricity and ensures that the circuit operates properly. However, the direction of the current may vary depending on the specific circuit or experiment being shown in the drawing and can be changed by altering the components or flow of electricity.

This! :smile:

Current is allowed in the direction of the arrow.
The reverse direction starts with a "blocking" line crossing the wire, meaning current is blocked.

That's how I thought it should be but something confused me. Now it makes sense. :smile: thanks!
 

1. What is the purpose of this drawing?

The purpose of this drawing is to show the direction in which a current is allowed to pass through a circuit.

2. How do I determine which direction the current is allowed to pass in this drawing?

To determine the direction of the current, you can follow the flow of the arrows in the drawing. The arrows represent the direction in which the current is allowed to flow.

3. Why is it important to know the direction of the current in a circuit?

Knowing the direction of the current is important because it determines the flow of electricity and ensures that the circuit operates properly.

4. Will this drawing always show the same direction for the current?

No, the direction of the current may vary depending on the specific circuit or experiment being shown in the drawing. It is important to carefully examine the drawing to determine the direction of the current for that particular circuit.

5. Can the direction of the current be changed in this drawing?

Yes, the direction of the current can be changed by altering the components of the circuit or by adjusting the flow of electricity through the circuit. However, the direction shown in the drawing is the intended direction for the circuit to function properly.
