For the study of electric circuits, it seems like it would have made more sense to establish that electrons carry a positive charge, and protons a negative one. That way, arrows representing current would actually represent the flow of electrons. I've never come across a reason to support the convention in place today. So, besides the hassle of changing this universal agreement, is there a reason in favour of the one in place ?
