Like silverstar said, Conventional current is the idea that current flows from positive to negitive.

In reality, charge flows from negitive to positive (electrons being negitively charged and all). But, for many reasons, it is easier to think of it the otherway. I found this extreamly confusing at first to. I couldn't figure out why my multimeter was giving me negitive voltages for everything.

*sigh* conventions can be so tiresome.
