The electrons will move from A to B but the electric current will move from B to A.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction to the current (conventional current).
Electrons flow in the opposite direction to the current (conventional current).

Point a is in the state of rest but point b is in the state of motion.

As the electrons will flow from(-) low potential region to high potential region so it will A(-)will move towards B(+). Thus option B is correct.

A has lower potential (we can denote it by -)
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+).
As electrons flow from low to the high potential region (or in easy terms the opposite + attracts - ).
So, Answer is B.
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+).
As electrons flow from low to the high potential region (or in easy terms the opposite + attracts - ).
So, Answer is B.

Current will flow higher potential to lower potential but we know that electron always flows in the opposite to the direction of current.

Current flow is always opposite to electron flow. The Current direction is from high potential to low potential. And electron flow is from low potential to high potential.

A positive charged ion moves from high potential to low potential. But a negatively charged ion means electron moves from low potential to high potential.

The electrons move from higher to lower electric potential so if an electron is added it moves towards B.

Electron will move towards point B because due to higher potential the sign on point B should be + and it will attract the electron toward itself.

Conventionally, direction of current is from high potential to low potential which is called conventional current and electronic current is always opposite to conventional current.
