Question

Positive charges move in the direction of the electric field and the same direction as what current?

Answer 1

conventional current

Figure 20.4 Current I is the rate at which charge moves through an area A , such as the cross-section of a wire. Conventional current is defined to move in the direction of the electric field.  a  Positive charges move in the direction of the electric field and the same direction as conventional current.  b  Negative charges move in the direction opposite to the electric field. Conventional current is in the direction opposite to the movement of negative charge. The flow of electrons is sometimes referred to as electronic flow.
