a rectangular loop of wire L = 17 cm long by h = 9 cm high, with a resistance of R = 0.9 ohms, moves with constant speed v = 6 m/s. the magnetic field points into the page, and its magnitude is B = 1.6 tesla. What is the conventional current in the loop?

I got abit confused and messed up with conventional and current. Am I right to say that both conventional current and current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal? But conventional current is not the same as current, right ?

Conventional current flow is from positive to negative. This is the "convention", but it is physically incorrect. Actual current flow is from negative to positve. And if there is no electron flow then there is no current flow, conventional or actual.

What is conventional current ?
i was away when we learnt in class.
please help me with this sentence.....
In Conventional current, the electrons were thought to flow from + to -. Now we know they actually flow from ______ to ______
does anyone know what goes in the gaps ?

If an electron current is 2.5e17 electrons/s. What is the conventional current?

Electrons are negative and flow from negative to positive. 'Conventional' current flow is from positive to negative. This is because early researchers in electricity thought electricity flowed from positive to negative, which is why they called them that in the first place.

Or was their intention to make Physics students' lives hell?
I'm thinking that they first defined current. Few years down the track, they realise the electrons go in the opposite direction and thought it too much of a hassle of changing which way current was.
Also, I'm 99% sure that any American person reading this will not agree with me. I believe they think they're both the same way.

In a circuit, if a conventional current is a positive flow of charge, but electrons flow in the opposite direction, how does a current travel around a circuit?
If you didn't understand the question (it's because I don't understand what I'm really even talking about), can you please just tell me how an electrical current works?
Note: Please do not just tell me that a conventional current is the opposite direction of the electron flow. I know that.
