But which way does that current flow in that wire? There are two possibilities depending on whether you’re thinking in terms of electron current or conventional current. In a circuit connected ...

The direction of free electron flow ... of conventional current is the direction marked on all circuit diagrams. The symbol for electric current is I. Two lamps connected in series with an open ...

This has come to be known as conventional current flow ... in a technical school and was taught that current flow was electron flow and all circuit analysis was done that way.

Scientists later discovered that current is actually the flow of electrons, from negative to positive. The original definition is now referred to as 'conventional ... Each electron in a circuit ...
