Current flows in opposite direction to electron and same direction of proton but first in conventional method they made mistake in direction of flow of current, which is rectified in electron current flow.

Conventional current means protons flow. But electrons flow is much much greater the the protons. So electrons move faster than conventional current. But answer is reverse. Can any one explain it. Please.

IN this question it is asked which current flow came first
it is about it time of invention or launching not its speed
so the answer is conventional flow of current is used fist in curcuit anlaysis

Conventional Current direction is always Opposite direction of actual electrons flow i.e. in the direction of flow of Protons. So I thought my answer is "Protons move in conventional current flow".

The conventional current flow method only at first when they discovered the electricity but they were wrong. But now we are using electron flow only in current era.

@Rathore.
Here the question is not about flow of current. Its about concept, I mean which concept first propose to explain the flow of current in a circuit.

I think conventional current flow means the current flow process in a conductor (no band gap not require external energy, so its faster) and vice-versa.

It should be (b) because conventional current is the direction of +ve charge. So there is no matter of speed. How one can judge the speed ?.

Convetional flow follows the flow of positive charge source. While the electron flow is the real movement of electrons, which is negative.

Still I can't understand, what is conventional current and why conventional current flow came first. Please explain me in a simple way.
