Question

Which of these is a correct definition of electronic current?

(a) Current that flows from lower potential to higher potential

(b) The current which remains static

(c) Current constituted by the flow of ions

(d) Current that flows from higher potential to lower potential

This question was posed to me in my homework.

The doubt is from Electric Current topic in portion Current Electricity of Physics – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Current that flows from lower potential to higher potential

Explanation: The current that flows from a point at the lower (negative) potential to a point at higher (positive) potential is called electronic current. Electronic current is produced by the movement of negatively charged electrons.
