CURRENT REFERENCE DIRECTIONS

| NEXT DEMOS | TABLE OF CONTENTS |


DEMO 1 - Slide the mouse over the gray rectangles to see how the sign of I depends on the direction the equivalent positive charges are flowing. Note that each plus represents the flow of one coulomb/sec of equivalent positive charge.



DEMO 2 - Slide the mouse over the gray rectangles to see how the sign of I depends on the direction chosen for the current reference arrow together with the direction the epc is flowing. Note that each plus represents the flow of one coulomb/sec of equivalent positive charge.


DEMO 3 - Slide the mouse over the gray rectangle to see how the choice of I2's reference direction affects its relation with I1.


DEMO 4 - Slide the mouse over the gray rectangle to see how the choice of I2's reference direction affects its relation with I1. Note that the boxes contain circuit elements like batteries and light bulbs.


DEMO 5 - Slide the mouse over the gray rectangle to see how reversing the leads of the current meter affects the value of I being measured. Note that the boxes contain circuit elements like batteries and light bulbs.
