Question:

If instead of electrons, the antiparticle of electron, positron is made to flow as the charge carrier. What will happen to the current through the conductor? ( Hint : An antiparticle differs from its particle in the polarity of charge. Other properties such as mass, magnitude of charge, etc remain the same.)

Options:

It will increase.

It will decrease.

It will remain the same.

It will flow in opposite direction.

Correct Answer:

It will flow in opposite direction.

Explanation:
