YOU NEED TO NOTE THAT THERE IS ALSO CONVENTIONAL CURRENT DEPICTION WHICH ASSUMES CURRENT FLOWS FROM THE POSITIVE TERMINAL TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL. Many analogies are based on conventional current flow depiction instead of electron flow depiction. ALTHOUGH NOT STATED DIRECTLY, FIGURE 3 IS A CONVENTIONAL CURRENT DEPICTION. YOUr TEXT says "This pressure pushes current, which is simply moving electrons, through the wire, resistor, and LED causing it to light." IF IT WAS ELECTRON FLOW Depiction, the sequence would be through the wire, LED, and the resister. Or, TAKE FIGURE 4. IN ELECTRON FLOW DEPICTION, THE VALUE ACTUALLY BELONGS ON THE INLET TO THE PUMP. It's all about consistency in a given Textbook or reference but the reader needs to know what depiction is being used (and that two types exist) in order to have the right frame of reference and understand the concept.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good article but I think you have jumped over a key learning point:<br /> the article starts by using electron flow depiction which is what really happens when electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.</p> <p>YOU NEED TO NOTE THAT THERE IS ALSO CONVENTIONAL CURRENT DEPICTION WHICH ASSUMES CURRENT FLOWS FROM THE POSITIVE TERMINAL TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL.
