Do free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential?

Free electrons travel to region of higher potential or lower potential.

Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Assertion (A): An electron has a high potential energy when it is at a location associated with a more negative value of potential, and a low potential energy when at a location associated with a more positive potential. Reason (R):Electrons move from a region of higher potential to region of lower potential. Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Hot spots are regions of high

Assertion: In parallel combination of electrical appliances, total power consum ption is equal to the sum of the powers of the indivisual appliances. Reason : Electrons move away from a region of lower potential to a region of higher potential.
