why electron move opposite direction of current

Question

Answer

it's because Ben Franklin had only two choices to define which way the terminals of a voltaic pile would be defined, and he picked the way that ended up being wrong in terms of the flow of charge.  Current is defined as the flow of positive charge, and that's what Franklin thought was moving in the metal wires he was playing with.  He was wrong -- it was the negative charges moving, in the direction opposite to the direction his imagined positive charge moved.￼

Answer

Electric current is defined as the rate of transfer of charge. The direction of conventional current is always given by the direction in which positive charge moves. This can be achieved either by moving positive charges in this direction, or by moving negative charges (ie. electrons) in the opposite direction. If you are moving electrons then the side which they are going to becomes negative and the side they are leaving becomes positive. Since direction of current is towards the positive, the current is in the opposite direction to flow of electrons.I hope this answers would help you.

Answer

Coz it is covention that direction of +ve charge is direction of current. As you know -ve charge flows opposite to +ve charge.Thats the reason😊

Answer

when a conductor is placed in an electric field the electrons move in a direction opposite to that of the electric field and because of which a dipole in created inside the conductor and it develops an internal electric field. so the current is developed in the direction of the external electric field which is opposite to the direction of the electrons.

Answer

electron is a negative charge particul and current is a positive charged partical

Answer

There can be many aspects for this!! 1. Electric potential decreases in the  direction of electric field 2. Take two terminal positive and negative if we assume that the direction of electron is positive to negative then the -ive charge will repel which will become our contradictory,,...

Answer

because it is electron
