I saw the NEETS Manuals and this site recommended in a subreddit for personal teaching. The NEETS manual defines current like this:
I think this is what the website calls "electron flow" in this article: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-1/conventional-versus-electron-flow/. I am not for sure on this though because there are no values given.
My questions regarding this are, how can there be +1A in the direction of electrons if I=dq/dt. If the rate of charge is negative(because electrons are negative according to both sources), shouldn't the current be negative? Does this manual use I=-dq/dt?
Also, if this exact diagram above had the I labeled as I=-1A, would that be considered what this site calls "conventional current"?
