Free electrons are:
Correct answer: B. Loosely bounded
- A. Fixed
- B. Loosely bounded
- C. Strongly fixed
- D. Tightly bounded
Explanation
Free electrons are not fixed in place; they can move relatively freely within a material. This mobility allows them to conduct electricity and participate in various electronic processes. The other options are incorrect because they imply a fixed or strongly bound state for the electrons, which is not characteristic of free electrons.

The more specific you are, the faster it gets fixed. A source beats an opinion.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
