Question

The motion of the electrons due to the external electric field constitutes an electric current Since the negatively charged electrons are moving to the left, the current, winch is defined as the flow of positive charge, moves to the right. Imagine that the rightward current flows in the rod for a short time. As a result, what will the net charge on the right and left ends of the rod become? left end negative and right end positive left end negative and right end negative left end negative and right end nearly neutral left end nearly neutral and right end positive both ends nearly neutral

Explanation / Answer

Current always flows from positive to negative direction

Here current is flowing from left to right

So left end would be positive and right end would be negative

First option is correct!
