Technician A is correct. The conventional theory of current flow states that current flows from positive to negative. This direction is opposite to the actual flow of electrons, but it was established early in the study of electricity and is still used conventionally. Technician B is incorrect because current flow is not random, but follows the path of least resistance in a circuit.
