Yes.

Current flow is positive to negative - that is the convention by
which directional components are described and illustrated.

When I did my basic electronics training, "Electron Current Flow" was
the method used, except for about two minute mention of Conventional
current flow!


So you were taught to mentally rotate all the arrows on transistors and
diodes ? Sounds like hard work to me.


Why would you want me to mentally rotate all the arrows? The arrows
always pointed to the N type material, so you knew how to set up your
supplies!

Perhaps the problem here is that I'm talking actual circuit operation
where as you seem to be talking circuit analysis, Thevans, Norton, that
type of stuff.

Electrons actually
travel from neg to pos, but that is irrelevant. This has nothing to
do with 'ground'.

Just forget about electron flow direction, it will just distract you.

Big call, Geoff, to forget Electron Current flow.


No. Not unless you are designing semiconductor circuits
