How would electricity be different if it was positively charged?

Although electricity is created by the movement of negative electrons, electric current is conventionally defined as being a positive flow. This is due to the creation of positive charge in the opposite direction as electrons move away.

To switch these charges, the flowing particles – known as charge carriers – would need to be positive. The positive part of atoms are the protons, and while a positive flow of protons does exist in nature, this electrical current is not classed as electricity.
