Question

In a dc circuit the direction of current inside the battery and outside the battery respectively are ______.

Options

• positive to negative terminal and negative to positive terminal

• positive to negative terminal and positive to negative terminal

• negative to positive terminal and positive to negative terminal

• negative to positive terminal and negative to positive terminal

Answer 1

In a dc circuit the direction of current inside the battery and outside the battery respectively are negative to positive terminal and positive to negative terminal.

Explanation:

Electric current typically moves in the same direction as a positive charge. The current in the external circuit flows from the positive to negative terminals of the battery.
When a battery discharges, current travels from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
