Sorry to inform but there is no electron transfer through wire. Electrons are for all intents and purposes stationary. What IS traveling through the wires is photons, which makes sense, right?Dude, really???
I know that this is Audiogon but bad science is bad. FYI, current is not composed of photons. Electrons and photons ARE NOT the same:
1. Electrons have mass. Photons have no measurable mass.
2. Electrons are negatively charged particles. Photons have no measurable charge.
3. Electron mobility (speed) can vary from (effectively) zero to almost (but never reaching) the speed of light (c). Photons always travel at c in a vacuum and very close to c in other media.
4. Spin (s) for an electron is assigned at 1/2. s for a photon is assigned as 1.
5. Electrons have an associated antiparticle, positrons. Photons do not have an associated antiparticle and are created by the annihilation of particles and antiparticles.
Current is composed of electrons, not photons. It's true that electrons do not travel very far or very fast in a conductor, but they do travel.
