Hello.

Im a bit confused about how the direction of current is defined in the Electrical Circuit physics model.

Traditionally in circuit theory the current flows from plus to minus. (+) I -> (-)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm%27s_law

I noticed that in the Electrical Circuit physics mode's voltage source lumped element the current seems to flow the from minus to plus (-) I-> (+).

Does this mean that in comsol the current is always defined in the actual direction of the electron flow even when you design lumped element circuits?
