Trivia: Symbol & Electron Flow
Today, I learn who caused the 'mess' on current flow & symbol confusion. At last.
Benjamin Franklin, that's who.
As shown in the diagram, actual current or electron flow is counter-clockwise. But because of earlier (naive) assumption by Ben, current symbol standard (diode, for example) follows the wrong flow.
But this is trivial, really. Conventional wisdom still works.
