what does +ve charge in conductor means, do they move...


Hello pf,

Electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductor. while explaining about the fact the fact that electric field inside a conductor is zero, there is a depiction showing charge moves to surface (+ve and -ve charges to extremes of metal conductor surface) in emt books of sadiku and griffiths etc. ok -ve charge refers to electrons , but what about +ve charges? are they immobile ions. please help..
