Conventional Current v Electron Flow - Electricity explained

Conventional current and electron flow. In this video we briefly learn the difference between conventional current and electron flow. We learn how the electron was discovered and why battery terminals are positive and negative. What is conventional current.

It baffles the mind how so many schools, colleges, universities, etc. just brush off this topic, then you have a bunch of confused students or people that want to learn electronics getting confused and frustrated. Same thing with the concept of Ground.

I'm a very visual and spatial learner so it's rather confusing when people insist on demonstrating factually incorrect conventional current. Really appreciate this channel and that you use electron flow in most of your models. It makes things so much easier to understand and conceptualize!

Man, you have no idea how helpful these videos have been for me. Nobody has ever been able to break the "why" down far enough that I could connect the dots.

A great and simple explanation. I learned electron flow and it has always made sense to me. Now I know its also the more correct, even better. I would like to thank my instructor (Mr. Richard Romea) who told the class years ago (1995) that electrons flow from negative to positive. He was right and once you believe that, its all easy-peasy.

Back in the day when I was using vacuum tubes in my Amature Radio projects, I learned that electrons were "boiled" off the negative cathode and were attracted to the positive plate of the tube. Electron flow...

[ShonKinsley]

what bothers me most is some of books (I wouldn't name them) describe circuits with mixture of conventional and actual electrons flow, the worst part is explanation of transistors and diodes with actual electrons flow, those authors must watch this video. Another great work, thanks Paul.

this has confused me for years have been fighting with my thoughts forever, finally i can rest 😉

[WTF_BBQ]

This is somewhat true. I first started learning about electronics in the late 80's, and the magazines at the time always taught circuits in electron flow. I also watched old videos made in the 1960's and they taught in electron flow as well. Sometime during the 90s, i began to notice that electronic books and magazines started to discuss in terms of Conventional flow. This was very confusing to me, and no doubt it'd be confusing to newcomers. I don't know who made this decision, but it was

I'M IN STD 8, I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH THIS BUT WITH YOUR HELP I UNDERSTOOD. THANKYOU SOO MUCH.

[aracnia]

This answered a question I've had for years. Conventional flow never made sense to me since electrons were negative. Thank you!

My high school physics teacher offered extra credit for a physics limerick. This was my submission:

There once was a coulomb named Joe
Who never knew which way to go
Conventional current was quite a deterrent
from normal electron flow!

I wish we had this video when I was a young apprentice years ago….part of our program required we take university courses, including physics. We got into an intense debate with the relatively young physics instructor, as what she was teaching about electron flow was different from what we were learning in trade theory. This explains it!

[abather]

It's fascinating how clear and beautiful your explanations are

[AdnanSadiq-euuk]

Fantastic clarification of what is a very perplexing issue for both students and teachers alike!! Really well animated and concisely explained!! THANK YOU!!!👍

Great video. Just one point to note - versus is abbreviated as vs or just v (v is generally only used in legal contexts), but never v's.

[BenMJay]

When I first began study8ng electrical engineering, this concept was foreign to me. It is a little hard to abstract.

[jsrrrmg]

In the US Navy, they teach theory in a difference between "Hole Flow" and "Electron Flow". When I first got out, and started working in the Civilian World, It blew my mind that the general consensuses was that electricity flowed in the opposite direction!

[gabrielesposito]

Man, Engineering Mindset. What a great video! All of the explanations I watched this is the clearest. Thank you very much! 💯🔥
