Electron Flow

Later discoveries were made that proved that just the opposite is true. Electron flow is what actually happens where an abundance of electrons flow out of the negative (−) source to an area that lacks electrons or the positive (+) source.

Both conventional flow and electron flow are used in industry. Many textbooks in current use employ both electron flow and conventional flow methods. From the practical standpoint of the technician, troubleshooting a system, it makes little to no difference which way current is flowing as long as it is used consistently in the analysis.
