hello. i have a problem in figuring out the wierd negative current that appeared in the cct i was simulating. a 5 volt battery to the base of transistor, 12 volt battery via a relay to the collector and ground to the emmitter. the transister is an npn transistor along with the resistor to base n collector. the current is nagative but the relay seems to be working fine. got any clue???? base +ve current but collector n emitter is having -ve current
simulation yields negative current.wierd!!

Current should be flowing into the base, into the collector, and out of the emitter. Whether that means positive or negative to you depends on where you're standing.
I have no idea what "the resistor to base n collector" might mean in English.
