MCQ
Current carrier in conductors is $........$?
  • Electron
  • B
    Proton
  • C
    Neutron
  • D
    Positron

Answer

Correct option: A.
Electron

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.
