cheated.....

Some use old navy
training books. Naturally, those use electron
current flow and all the engineering materials use conventional current
flow (positive to negative).
A bit confusing for a young engineer but not for an old timer who has had
to deal with both.

REPLY:
One of life's great mysteries to me is why the professional electronics
community continues to propagate the falsehood of "conventional" current
flow.
It is as if civil engineers designed things based on water that flows
uphill.
Perhaps in the next life the creator can explain it to me. No one in this
life
ever has. :-)
