Can you link to or write more about what other kinds of things need to be fixed? What is wrong with the sign of an electron's charge?

- jacobolus 11y agoI guess it doesn’t make all that much difference which sign: it’s an arbitrary choice. It’s just a bit confusing for students to define the electron charge as -e instead of +e, or draw diagrams with arrows pointing the opposite direction of electron movement. http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-1/conventional-versus-electron-flow/ http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt... On the other hand this guy seems to appreciate the definition: http://www.austincc.edu/wkibbe/truth.htm http://www.austincc.edu/wkibbe/truth.htm
