Two people are debating electron flow vs conventional flow . One of them says that you will get different results predicting polarity of voltage drops in a resistive circuit depending on which convention you are use . The other person says that the convention for labeling current does not matter at all and the correct polarities will be predicted either way . Which of these two people is correct explain why and give an example to prove your point period

Two people are debating electron flow versus conventional flow. One of them says that you will get different results predicting polarity of voltage drops in a resistive circuit depending on which convention you use. The other person says that the convention for labeling current does not matter at all, and the Great job! You have understood the lesson. Are you now ready to summarize? ANSWER: correct polarities will be predicted either way. Which of these two people is correct? Explain why, and give an example to prove your point.

CASE STUDY A person in Franklins time may have been able to provide the same advice we came up with in Example 23.2. However, an 18th-century person may have had a different reason for his or her advice. What part of that persons explanation would be the same as ours? What would be different?
If you pick up and shake a piece of metal that has electrons in it free to move as a current, no electrons fall out. Yet if you heat the metal, electrons can be boiled off. Explain both of these facts as they relate to the amount and distribution of energy involved with shaking the object as compared with heating it.
