CURRENT CARRIERS
• Solid : In solid conductors like metals current carriers are free electrons .
•
Liquids : In liquids current carriers are positive and negative ions .
• Gases : In gases current carriers are positive ions and free electrons .
• Semiconductor : In semiconductors current carriers are holes and free electrons .
