This always confused me when I took EE in college and then I realized I never figured it out when I tried explaining it to my 12 year old recently. This is a perfect primer to explain the FREQUENTLY misunderstood nature of current with respect to electrons vs current. I really hope you’ll consider expanding with visual examples including specific components such as capacitors and transistors. Thank you!

If a power source is attached to wires,
on the +ve side, the terminal strips electrons from wire itself, leaving vacancies ("holes") behind with net +ve charge density.

Next, those holes strip electrons from the next part of the wire and so on, until the chain reaction ("wave" or "current") heads over to a lower potential terminal.

In a basic circuit, that lower potential terminal is on the other side of the power source.

You can think of the conventional current as a wave of positive charge density or "holes" headed to a negative terminal from a positive terminal.

Excellent video !!! You could give in more details what is a flow of positive charge (convetional current)

This is so amazing.
Thanks great tutor.
Have been searching for superposition principles of Coulomb’s Law, sir can you do a video on that

Thanks Mr J for helping me with my homework ✌️✌️😁

Current that is caused by electron motion is called electron current and current that is caused by hole motion is called hole current. Electron is a negative charge carrier whereas hole is a positive charge carrier. At absolute zero temperature intrinsic semiconductor behaves as insulator. This is what I learned in school in the 90's. I did not use the term conventional, but it sounds like hole flow to me. Voltage got to keep it's pimp hand strong.

I was once asked in an interview which way current flows. My answer, it depends on which book you are reading. It doesn't matter either there's current flow or there ain't.

current electricity chapter padhke aya yahi samjh nhi aya tha, thankeew sirji

[amessman]

So the negative electrons are attracted to the positive side?

@organic can u do one more about k map but without horizental figoure
