What is exactly a positive charge flowing in a current if charge is the flow of electrons (negatively charged)? Like I know that deficiency of electrons or surplus of electrons makes a body positive or negative, but that was in electrostatics when the charges were at rest, but in current, like in circuits what exactly is a positive charge? It is a silly question, but I am not able to figure it out that why positive charge is being discussed in circuits when current is the flow of free electrons and electrons are negative?

Explanation:
The positive protons in the nucleus and the negative electrons are attracted to each other. This attraction is similar to the attraction between the opposite poles in two different magnets. Two negatively charged electrons will repel each other and so will two positively charged protons.
