An electric charge will experience a force if an electric field is applied. If it is

free to move, it will thus move contributing to a current. In nature, free

charged particles do exist like in upper strata of atmosphere called the

ionosphere. However, in atoms and molecules, the negatively charged

electrons and the positively charged nuclei are bound to each other and

are thus not free to move. Bulk matter is made up of many molecules, a

gram of water, for example, contains approximately 1022 molecules. These

molecules are so closely packed that the electrons are no longer attached

to individual nuclei. In some materials, the electrons will still be bound,

i.e., they will not accelerate even if an electric field is applied. In other

materials, notably metals, some of the electrons are practically free to move

within the bulk material. These materials, generally called conductors,

develop electric currents in them when an electric field is applied.

If we consider solid conductors, then of course the atoms are tightly

bound to each other so that the current is carried by the negatively

charged electrons. There are, however, other types of conductors like

electrolytic solutions where positive and negative charges both can move.

In our discussions, we will focus only on solid conductors so that the

current is carried by the negatively charged electrons in the background

of fixed positive ions.
