Do free electrons travel to a region of higher potential or lower potential?

Answers (1)

We know that the charged particle in the electric field has a force, that can be expressed as F=qE

Here, the direction of the electrostatic force experienced by the free electrons is exactly in the opposite direction of the electric field. The electrons travel from a lower potential region to a higher potential because the direction of the electric field is higher than the potential.
