what is the exact direction of current?
as we know current travels from higher potential to lower
potential,so if we take battery +ve to -ve implies current
direction is from positive terminal to negative
terminal.,whereas electrons flow from negative to positive
as they are attracted by positive ions.current will be the
plow of charge but not flow of positive ions.please clarify
my doubt friends.

Answer Posted / lins

In the earliest time ie. after the electricity had been
discovered, the scientists believed that electricity flows
from +ve to -ve. But after a long time they discovered that
in actual its from -ve to +ve ie. the electron flow.

So we now consider that either electron(-ve charges) is
flowing from -ve to +ve or positive charges flows from +ve
to -ve without changing the conventional belief.

As we use capacitior bank in 3ph ckt for improvement of PF, why not we use capacitor in single phase domestric use, at our house their are many inductive equipments,like fan,mixer,tube choke,air conditioner they also draw PF... by using capacitor can they improve PF. if yes--what are advantage and how to connect a capactor in single ph,and which type of capacitor if no- what are disadvantages.
