Am I allowed to answer?

Oh well, too bad if not...

Negative to Positive.

Electrons are negatively charged so are attracted to the positive and repelled from the negative when a circuit is connected.

done this before perhaps Gav..

One would think you may know a thing or 2 about electrickery

Only magic in electrical theory is how to keep the smoke from popping out the insulation...

I would hope into line of work that I understand electricity by now.

Lucas never worked out how to keep the smoke in.

or, an alternate point of view (just to screw with your head like my lecturer did):

electrons are negative, therefor they must be travelling to the negative terminal (and possibly congregating), otherwise it wouldn't be negative would it now.



think about it for a bit.

or....
if thats the negative terminal, the electrons are moving away, and so it will become positive in short order.

Yup. For about 0.03 seconds, realising we're talking about current here not static electricity.

Hi mijango, have you got any progress report on your charging problems.

no no, works for a circuit too
