Question

Select all the correct answers. Which two statements are true about electric current through a circuit? Current flows from a positive terminal to a negative terminal. Current flows through an open circuit. Electrons flow from a positive terminal to a negative terminal. Electrons flow in the same direction as current. Electrons flow from a negative terminal to a positive terminal.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Current flows from a positive terminal to a negative terminal.
• Electrons flow from a negative terminal to a positive terminal.

Explanation:

Indeed, it is a proven and generally accepted fact that electric current flows away from a positive terminal to a negative terminal. This is the case because the positive terminal of an electric circuit is under the pushing influence of the electric field, hence it moves to the negative terminal.

While electrons in an electric circuit flow from a negative terminal to a positive terminal. In other words, they move in the opposite direction of the current through the wires.
