A circuit consists of a resistor connected between the positive terminal and the negative terminal of a power supply. Which row describes the direction of conventional current and the direction of flow of free electrons in the resistor?
Adirection of conventional current: from negative to positive, direction of flow of free electrons: from negative to positive
Bdirection of conventional current: from negative to positive, direction of flow of free electrons: from positive to negative
Cdirection of conventional current: from positive to negative, direction of flow of free electrons: from negative to positive
Ddirection of conventional current: from positive to negative, direction of flow of free electrons: from positive to negative
✓ Correct answer
C: direction of conventional current: from positive to negative, direction of flow of free electrons: from negative to positive
