===About Charge Carriers===
*In [[metalsmetal]]s, the '''charge carriers''' are [[electron]]s.
*In [[electrolyte]]s, the '''charge carriers''' are [[ion]]s.
*The movement of '''charge carriers''' constitutes an [[Electrical Current|electric current]].
'''Charge carriers''' are fundamental in the operation of electronic devices such as [[transistor]]s and [[diode]]s.
*Understanding '''charge carrier''' dynamics is crucial for designing and optimizing electrical and electronic systems.
===Examples===
*In a copper wire, the free [[electron]]s act as [[Electrical Charge|charge]] carriers.
*In a solution of saltwater, the sodium and chloride ions act as [[Electrical Charge|charge]] carriers.
