Answer: Opposite to electron drift.
- A Opposite to electron drift
- B Same as electron drift
- C Perpendicular to electron drift
- D Independent of electron drift
Correct answer: A. Opposite to electron drift
Explanation: Electrons in a metal drift opposite to the direction of conventional current. Conventional current is defined as the direction of positive charge flow.
In series, the same current flows through both resistors; in parallel, the current splits between branches and the voltage across each resistor is the same.
