Electrons moves from low potential to high potential but in the case of current it will be reverse. So the answer will be B only.

Potential transfer from high to low but current reverse. So it's B.

Current moves from high potential to low potential i.e., B to A.

And electrons move opposite to current i.e., A to B.

Yogesh said:   1 decade ago
Electric potential will always move from higher potential to lower potential.

So answer is B.

Aayush said:   1 decade ago
The answer given i.e., the electron will move towards B is correct. Some of you are confused because you might be thinking that whenever you solve a circuit then in that case the electrons moved from higher 2 lower potential but this is the conventional method.

Electrons act opposite to the direction of current, hence if current flows from high potential to low potential then electrons flow from low potential to high potential.

Conventionally, electron moves opposite to the direction of current, direction of current is from high potential to low potential.

It's because of the Kirchhoff's 2nd law.

Electrons will move from high potential to low. But I think there is use any convention.
