ELECTRONS flow from a negative point to a more positive point; what is known as "conventional current" --what all engineers design with-- goes from positive to negative. I think it was Benjamin Franklin who made the original mistake, in deciding that current flows from a positive terminal to a negative. It really makes no difference to design calculations, so long as you keep your conventions in mind. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
