Conventional Current Flow vs Electron Current Flow. Which one is right and which one should you use

Conventional Current Flow vs Electron Current Flow. Probably more important than understanding which one is right is understanding what applications use which one.

Best explanation I've heard yet of conventional flow. Thank you.

Tim, I am 47, in high school physics they taught us this exact situation, with exactly the same reasons you stated. I am in Australia. That teacher that said go back to school... well he himself did not get a complete education. This is why he told you to go back to school. You know one finger pointing at you, three pointing back at him.

The expanding electrons cross over from the subatomic realm to atomic realm flowing from surplus- ‘ negative ‘- high pressure to depleted- ‘positive ‘- terminal until pressure is equal, I.e. battery is dead. Fascinating details covered in:” The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon.

we appreciate your videos, we learn more from your videos than any comments. .keep up the good work.

Thanks.

I love this video!!!! This was handled extremely well. The difference between most Electricians and Technicians versus some Engineer or "Educators" is that they lack a practical understanding of the Electrical Industry's safety and best electrical common sense practices based upon training. Often times these individuals are indeed intellectually gifted and/or talented but also come with an Ego attached to an Ass-itude of Arrogance! Your handling of this matter was pure Genius! LMAO!

I asked the positive and thank you for the response, who cares what the haters say. Keep doing what you're doing and thanks again

When I went to college in the mid 70's we were taught that current flow was always from a more negative to a more positive. That's how it works in real life. You can do anything you want on paper though. Seems like the higher tech colleges taught the exact opposite.

errr... isn't the overall electron migration always from the higher potential to the lower? the + and - represent a difference in potential, not electrical charge. the common or neutral is always a "sink" or "drain" for electrons. this convention works the same for DC and AC. If you start saying that electrons flow from the "negative", than in that world the negative has the higher potential, totally flipping the implied meaning of the + & - symbols; the symbols are about potential, not electron polarity.
