Detailed Solution

Electric current is the flow of particles with either positive or negative charge depending on the materials.
In the flow of electricity, a point on a conductor or element with high potential is considered positive. In contrast, a point on a conductor or element with a low potential is considered harmful.
According to the electric potential characteristics, if a conductor has a free positive charge, it should travel from a high potential to a low potential. If a conductor has a free negative charge, it should travel from low potential to high potential. As a result, the directions of positive and negative charges are opposed.
Electric current flow is said to be analogous to the movement of water. Electric current moves from high to low levels as water does.
