Eli5: Why do we consider the negative terminal of battery “ground” if we know conventional electricity flow is wrong 508 viewsApril 27, 2024OtherPhysics Question100.55K April 26, 2024 0 Comments If we know that in reality electrons flow from negative to positive, then why is the negative terminal of a battery usually still connected as the ground, and things such as switches usually connect in series to the positive side? In: Physics 9 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted April 26, 2024 0 Comments Electrons are negatively charged. We’re concerned with positive flow. If you say “wait that’s arbitrary” Yes. We can arbitrarily flip the sign to electrons to positive if you want, just convince the world to do it because some people like you care about it.
