QUESTION 3 How do you define the direction of the current in a circuit? O a. Negative current is the direction for which positive charges move(opposite of the direction for which negative charges do) b. Positive current is the direction for which positive charges move(the same direction for which negative charges do) OC. Negative current is the direction for which positive charges move(the same direction for which negative charges do). O d. Positive current is the direction for which positive charges move(opposite of the direction for which negative charges do). QUESTION 4 the current in the battery foll the battery. O a. Yes, it always follows the battery Ob. No, it can oppose the battery.Explanation / Answer
3. (d) Positive current is the direction for which the positive charges move (opposite of the direction for which negative charges do)
Current flows to the direction opposite the flow of negatively charged electrons. Therefore, positive current will flow in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons.
4.(b) No, it can oppose the battery
In passive loads (resistors, LEDs etc.) the path of current is from positive to negative. But with batteries the direction reverses whenever the battery is being recharged. And in generators and motors the current can reverse whenever the energy-flow is backwards, which happens whenever the motor temporarily becomes a generator, or vice versa.
