Electricity travels from high potential to low potential.

• A. From high to low
• B. From low to high
• C. From equal to unequal
• D. In alternating directions

Answer: (A)

A potential difference creates a driving force for electric charges, and the electric field points from higher potential to lower potential. In this view, conventional current—what we usually call the flow of electricity in circuits—moves from high to low potential. That’s why the statement is correct. It’s also worth noting that electrons, being negatively charged, actually move from low to high potential, but current is defined as the flow of positive charge, so we describe it as going from high to low. The other options don’t match the usual direction of current in a steady potential difference (low to high would require the opposite field, equal to unequal doesn’t drive flow, and alternating directions describes AC rather than a fixed direction).
