Which way does electricity flow through a vehicle’s electrical system? From positive to negative, or from negative to positive? Depending on your viewpoint, it can flow either way. When most ...

This has come to be known as conventional current flow. Then in 1897, British physicist Thompson, discovered that current flow was really electrons as he was doing some research on a crt.

Electric current in a metal is a flow of (free) electrons and the electrons move in the opposite direction to that of a conventional current.

Scientists later discovered that current is actually the flow of electrons, from negative to positive. The original definition is now referred to as 'conventional current', to avoid confusion with ...
