Why current flow opposite to the flow of electron?

Question

Answer

Actually.. it's taken as conventionally..n it's bcz ..in earlier time..when electricity is known to us..that time only protons r discovered..

Answer

Bcz negative terminal to positive terminal of convanicial direction

Answer

It is just taken by convention as the direction of magnetic field are take.

Answer

In the earlier time when only proton is discovered (positive charge ) is discovered that time our ancestors or earlier scientists are said that any thing  moves in the direction of positive to negative so ,we should believe that current flow positive to negative terminal but after some time it is clear that actually this phenomenon is wrong protons (positive charge ) can'ver move from their position only electrons ( negatively charge ) moves negative terminal to positive terminal therefore current moves opposite of electron

Answer

In olden days when the current was discovered electron (negative charge) was not discovered but protons (positive charge) were discovered so they thought flow of positive charge means flow of current but after the discovery of electrons they found actually electrons were flowing but the system still didn't change that flow of positive charge means flow of current so it is considered as current flow is opposite to the flow of electrons.
