Question
The direction of conventional current is:
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Conventional current is historically defined as the direction in which positive charge carriers would move under the influence of an electric field. This convention is widely used in circuit analysis, even though in many conductors (like metals), the actual charge carriers are negatively charged electrons flowing in the opposite direction.
Hint
Remember that conventional current is a historical convention based on positive charge movement.
