1️⃣ positive charge

In conductors, positively charged nucleus are held deep inside atom, but some electrons which are far from nucleus are weakly held and can easily move under influence of small force. These electrons are called free electrons which are the carriers of charge in conductors.

Answer 2

Answer:

negative charge

Explanation:

The free electrons are referred to as conduction electrons. In physics, a charge carrier is a particle or quasiparticle that is free to move, carrying an electric charge, especially the particles that carry electric charges in electrical conductors. ... In many metals, the charge carriers are electrons.
