It all depends upon whether you think of electrons or the spaces (holes) electrons fill as they migrate. Picture a straight row of coins on a tabletop. Mark the location for each coin. Now remove a coin at one end. That represents your power source pulling an electron away from an atom at the positive end of the power supply. Start shuffling the coins from one side to the other beginning at the end with the missing coin to fill it's gap, carefully moving one coin at a time to the marks keeping the gap open. Note that the coins (electrons) are moving in one direction as electrons move from negative to positive while the gap (hole) moves in the opposite direction from positive to negative. 73, Ron AC7AC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
