Which statement best defines conventional current in an electric circuit?
(a) It is the actual drift of electrons from the negative terminal toward the positive terminal of the battery.
(b) It is the flow from the point of lowest electric potential toward the point of highest electric potential in the circuit.
(c) Conventional current is the flow that would occur if positive charges moved from the battery’s positive terminal toward its negative terminal.
(d) It is the hypothetical flow of positive charges from the negative terminal toward the positive terminal of the battery.
