MCQ
Current carrier in conductors is ____?
  • A
    Electron
  • B
    Proton
  • C
    Neutron
  • D
    Positron

Answer

  1. Electron

Explanation:

Conductors have lots of free electrons that can carry electricity if the potential difference is applied across them. Protons are positively charged particle and Neutron are electrically neutral. They don’t carry electricity in conductors.
