Distribution of positive charge in conductors

[jperentosh]

In conductors, how does the excess of positive charge distribute itself across the surface of the material?

 

[marcusl]

Conductors remain charge-neutral overall--there is no excess. Furthermore, it is electrons that are free to move in conductors such as metals, not positive charge carriers. To get started, take a look at the Wikipedia article on Electrical conduction, or click on "*conductor, electric" in the topic list at

Hole charges?

What about them?
