Conventional current flows from
AInside the cell from positive to negative directly
BNegative terminal to positive terminal externally
CBoth terminals to the bulb at the same time
DPositive terminal to negative terminal in the external circuit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Positive terminal to negative terminal in the external circuit
1. The chapter sets up a torch circuit.
2. Current is drawn from the positive terminal of the cell.
3. It returns to the negative terminal through the bulb.
4. So option A is correct.
