Current moves from higher potential to lower potential and the flow of electron is opposite to the flow of current that's why electrons move from lower to higher potential.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

Dvfd said:   1 decade ago
Conventionally, electron moves opposite to the direction of current, direction of current is from high potential to low potential.

Akhil said:   1 decade ago
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.
