Summary[edit]

Description
English: A circuit depicting a conventional current with positive charges flowing across the wire. In real-life circuits, the electrons, with negative charges, flow across the wire but the convention of drawing circuits to show the positive charges flowing predates knowledge of how electrical circuits work (i.e., with the electrons flowing across the wire).
