MCQ
The flow of the electric current through a metallic conductor is:
  • A
    Only due to electrons
  • B
    Only due to + ve charges
  • C
    Due to both nuclei and electrons.
  • D
    Can not be predicted.
✓

Answer

  1. Only due to electrons

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are strongly bound to the atoms (in the nucleus).

Only electrons can be free from atoms.

The systematic flow of these free electrons constitutes a current.

Therefore, the electric current is only due to the flow of electrons.
