Conventional current is in the direction of:

Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charge. By convention, it is understood to flow from the positive terminal (anode) to the negative terminal (cathode). In the context of a complete electrochemical cell or a circuit, when considering the flow through the metallic path, the current flows from the anode to the cathode.

In this case, when electrons move away from the anode, a corresponding positive charge is perceived as flowing in the opposite direction (from anode to cathode). Thus, the flow of conventional current through the metallic path is accurately represented as moving from the anode to the cathode. This understanding is pivotal in fields such as electrochemistry and electrical engineering, where current direction impacts the design and analysis of circuits and reactions.
