The most common charge carrier in electricity is the electron. However there are special cases where other things act as charge carriers, but they are usually not subatomic particles:

  • In electrolytes the charge carriers are ions
  • In aqueous electrolytes it is possible for hydrogen ions (protons) to be charge carriers
  • In semiconductors the charge carriers can be either electrons or holes (virtual particles produced by electron gaps in valence band)
