You'd be correct.

Thanks for all your guys help today, I'm new with electronics but already it's a bit frustrating that most things I've run across reflect conventional as oppossed to electron flow.

In electrical (my field), watts law and ohms law confuses the #### out of my students with way too many tags still lingering that should be updated to reflect the actual terminology we use today:. PIE, IER should be WAV AVR.

 

Have a great Thanksgiving........

 

Billions, trillions of components would need to be redisigned.

The choice of an arbitrary convention has zero effect on the real world. You may need to change a lot of minds and textbooks, but nothing more.

They all reflect conventional if you view them as components, so at least there is some coherence in the world of electronics. The moment you start digging deeper (such as how mosfets work, or why diodes stop electron flow in one direction but not the other) is the point where everything is turned upside down.

...or the right way up.

 

Source is the source of electrons.

Sorry, TheComet is correct.

I was thinking of N-channel FET.

The source is the source of the charge carriers.

For N-channel FET the source is the source of electrons.
For P-channel FET the source is the source of holes.

It's much easier than that to confuse me.....lol
