why electron flow is opposite to current flow?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
The direction of conventional current is always opposite to the direction of the electronic current. In history, it was assumed that the current is due to the flow of positive charges. When it was discovered that the current is actually the flow of electrons, already much work has been done by taking the opposite direction of current so scientists decided to go with the conventional current in future too.

According to electron flow model, electrons are the things which keeps moving and which are negative. so if the electrons are moving the side which it is moving becomes negative and which it is leaving becomes positive. since the ditection of current is positive... current flows in an opposite direction of electron flow
