Charge Carriers, Electric Currents and Related Electromagnetic Phenomena

Authors: David Lindsay Johnson

Although an explanation of electric current in terms of the one-way movement of electrons is widely accepted, and represents a reassuringly simple model, there are several problems when it comes to explaining phenomena such as the Hall Effect, electrical currents within semiconductor circuitry and the generation of electric and magnetic fields by electric currents. This article considers options that might better and more consistently explain these phenomena and overviews some unexpected implications of these options for covalent bond formation and the cause of radioactive decay.
