To solve for a value for electric current we must assign an arbitrary reference arrow. The value based on these arrows can be negative or positive. Let’s say we assign a reference arrow for current from left to right. If our value for that current is negative than the direction of the negative value for current is left to right. If our value for that reference arrow is positive then that means the actual negative value for current goes from right to left. You can use the sign to interpret whether you got the reference direction correct for the actual direction of positive current (or just current for short). You can also use the value to tell you something about the charge movements. If you reference arrow comes up with a negative value from left to right, than in a wire electrons move left to right. If you reference arrow comes up with a positive value from left to right, electrons move right to left. In either case, positive Actual current (or just current) always move opposite of the electrons.Now explain, as if trying to get your point across to somewhat just seeing this for the very first time, how to interpret the phrase, "the direction of the negative value for current," such that they would come up with those same answers to those same questions.
