Electrons flow from -ve to +ve.
Conventional current flows from +ve to -ve.
When trying to understand the operation of a particular item of electronics, just use whichever idea is easiest to understand. As long as you are consistent in the method used in each situation, it will work out correctly.
Hero and Tomble explained it quite adequately.
So why the temper tantrum?
Please explain how Ive managed to through a tantrum?
What, I can't disagree with fact lacking posts like Tombles'?
Dont get me wrong, I very much am greatful for those trying to help me understand. This topic seems to be more about personal preferences then anything also so i guess there really is no 'right' answer.
Just trying to have a mind expanding conversation about electronics.
Struck me as a tantrum!, he gave you the correct answer!.
Current flows from +ve to -ve.
Electrons flow from -ve to +ve.
And it makes no difference whatsoever to designing or understanding circuits, I never even consider it either way - just that current flows from high voltage to low voltage - so from +ve supply rail to ground it's conventional current flow, and from a -ve supply rail to ground it's electron flow, it makes no difference which it is.

I can see your point Peter, I really can. If you're looking at how semiconductors, capacitors, batteries, i.e. how components work internally understanding that electrons flow from negitive to positive is really important.
I just want to to see myself and Tomble's point: If all you're doing is looking at a circuit, as far as you're concerned, all the components are black boxes and it doesn't what's happening inside them. Therefore it doesn't matter which way current flows, it can flow either way, providing you keep it consistent when you are looking at the same circuit, it really doesn't matter.
Its so simple, don't make it so confused. Current flow when there are different potential between conductive or resistive line. What about capacitor? Capacitor charged with current, and current always flow by different potential. I(c)=C*dv/dt.
555 is simple too. Based on hysteretic system comparator.
Inductor more hard to understand for beginner (charged with voltage, instant discharge when open, and its current doesn't change when shorted). V(L)=L*di/dt.
Also Inductor and capacitor connected and transformer. But there always easy way to analyze them.
N-type semiconductor has lower resistance than P-type. That's why N-channel mosfet most used for switching (smaller faster). Switching with mosfet is about to creating channel.
