Question

Assertion (A) : Electrons move from lower potential to higher potential in a conductor.\ Reason (R) : A dry cell maintains electric potential difference across the ends of a conductor.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : Positive terminal of a cell has more potential or is at high potential and the negative terminal of the cell is at low potential. As we know that electrons are negatively charged, thus attracted towards the positive terminal or high potential. Thus, electrons move from lower potential towards higher potential in a conductor.\
