 		 #133897 - Conventional Current Flow
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Steve M. Taylor said:
in conventional parlance, we consider current to flow in the direction indicated by Andy.

Not that I had anything to do with defining the Convention, of course! :-0

You will find this in any decent text book: "Conventional Current Flow" - and yes, it is opposite to what the actual electrons do. But that's historical.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conv...al_current
