Electric current — practice question

The current in the circuit diagram shown is $3.2\,\text{mA}$. What is the direction of electron flow through the resistor $R$, and what is their rate of flow?

  • Adirection of flow: X to Y; rate of flow: $2.0 \times 10^{16}\,\text{s}^{-1}$
  • Bdirection of flow: X to Y; rate of flow: $5.1 \times 10^{-22}\,\text{s}^{-1}$
  • Cdirection of flow: Y to X; rate of flow: $2.0 \times 10^{16}\,\text{s}^{-1}$
  • Ddirection of flow: Y to X; rate of flow: $5.1 \times 10^{-22}\,\text{s}^{-1}$
