Conventional current flow direction is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Unknown

Answer: (A)

Conventional current direction is defined as the direction positive charges would move. In a powered circuit, positive charges leave the positive terminal, travel through the external circuit, and return to the negative terminal. This historical convention means current is drawn from the positive to the negative side, which is why the statement is true. In reality, the charge carriers in many wires are electrons, which flow from negative to positive, opposite to conventional current. The other options don’t fit because the conventional direction is a fixed convention in circuit theory, not something that changes or remains unknown.
