The charge carriers in metalic conductors
Correct answer: B. Electrons
- A. Free electrons and ions
- B. Electrons
- C. Electrons and protons
- D. Positive and negative ions
Explanation
In metallic conductors, electrons are the primary charge carriers responsible for conducting electricity due to their ability to move freely within the metal lattice.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
