Correct Answer: neutral


Solution : The correct option is neutral.

Free electrons moving in a certain direction cause the current in a wire. However, the number of protons and electrons in the wire at any given time is equal, and the charge on an electron is equal to and the opposite of that of a proton. Therefore, there is no net charge on the wire.
