There are two ways to look at current.

Conventional current (measured in amps) flows from positive to negative. This model works for the vast majority of electrical engineering purposes.

However, current is created by the movement of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge so electrons moving in one direction will give rise to conventional current in the opposite direction. Therefore, although current flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.

Does negative plus negative equal negative?

I'm pretty sure that -ve plus -ve equals another -ve. -ve plus +ve equals either one of the two, depending on which # is bigger. Same with +ve plus -ve. +ve plus +ve equals +ve. I have done my research and I found out negative plus negative can be negative or positive depending on the bigger number. But, a lot of people make the mistake of subtracting even though the sign is a plus. Example: -7.29 + -3.8= -11.09 but if it was 7.29 + -3.8 the answer 11.09 would be positive because the bigger number is positive.


What is the difference between AC and DC currents?

The difference between AC and DC currents is in terms of current flow. In the case of AC current, current can flow from one point to another and back again. It is reversible. But in the case of DC current, current can only flow in one single direction or from one point to another and not back again.
