MCQ
Which of these is a correct definition of conventional 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.
  • ✓
    Current that flows from higher potential to lower potential.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Current that flows from higher potential to lower potential.

The current that flows from a point at the higher $($positive$)$ potential to a point at lower $($negative$)$ potential is called conventional current. The direction of motion of positive charges is taken as the direction of electric current.
