"The direction of electric current". When Benjamin Franklin was studying charges, the structure of an atom and atomic particles were unknown. Hence he assumed the point of charge accumulation as positive and the point which is deficient of charges as negative. Therefore, the charge is said to flow from positive to negative. This is called conventional current.
"In which direction does electric current flow?". Electrons are negatively charged particles and are attracted towards the positive charge.
