Electron flow vs. Conventional Current    In 1752, prior to electricity being identified with the electron, Ben Franklin chose a convention regarding the direction of current flow. Franklin assumed that positive charge carriers flowed from positive to negative terminals. We now know this is incorrect. In metals, the charge carrier is the electron whose charge is negative by definition (note negative sign): (−1.6 × 10−19 C)   The flow of electrons is termed electron current. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. Conventional current or simply current, behaves as if positive charge carriers cause current f low. Conventional current flows from the positive terminal to the negative. Perhaps the clearest waytothinkaboutthis is to pretend as if movement of positive charge carriers constituted current flow.    It is important to realize that the difference between conventional current flow and electron flow in no way effects any real-world behavior...

 Current is the flow of electrons  SI unit - Amperes (A)  Other units - mA - Milli Amperes  1A= 1000mA 1mA = 1/1000A Electric current (I) = V/R  Electric current= Charge / Time  Electrons are negatively charged they flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal  But  Conventional current or electric current flows from positive to negative  This is the opposite flow get more about here

 Ohm's Law is used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electric circuit. Ohm's Law - V= I×R V- Voltage (unit of potential difference) I- Electric current R- Resistance  -> V= IR  -> I=V/R  -> R=V/I  ✓ Resistance  Resistance is the restriction to the flow of electrons    SI unit- Ohm Ω  R=V/I  -> Size  More length - More resistance Less length - Less resistance -> Thickness  Thin - More resistance Thick - Less resistance -> Material  Copper - Less resistance Aluminum - More resistance -> Temperature More temperature - More resistance Less temperature - less resistance
