Answer:Negatively charged particle called Free Electrons

Explanation:

Current is the flow of charged particles called Free electrons. Electrons are free to move from one atom to another and we call them a sea of de-localized electrons. In absence of any externally applied emf, these electrons are randomly moving but with the onset of emf, these electrons flow in a particular direction.
