In some cases, such as the development of electricmotors and generators, the applications preceded the discovery of the fundamental processes,such as the discovery of the electron. Hence, those of us who teach electrical engineering andelectrical engineering technology must deal with the fact that conventional current flow isopposite to the electron flow.
