How Electricity Actually Works

It's not the electrons that flow, it's the electro-magnetic field that flows.

If we are going to be pedantic. Electrons don’t flow, but they have a net biased movement direction where a current exists. The total kinetic momentum (embodied energy) will be a factor of current. Energy does not flow in the conductor, but there is energy in the conductor in the form of net kinetic momentum.

EM fields don’t flow, they propagate. The energy is transferred in the EM field.

Electricity travels like Light in a wave and the voltage and current travel out of phase. Watch the video it Cool 😎 as they go where few have to explain. Still there is much we do not know🤷‍♂️

@barts -

     Inescapable FACT:  No one understands exactly how electricity works.

     That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY.

     The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Prize in Pseudo-Physics, is always amusing.

     Whenever some highly educated person actually does discover exactly how electricity functions, they’ll be lauded by the scientific community, will have solved some of the disparities between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, receive a Nobel and we’ll hear about it.

     Newton’s THEORIES were largely superseded by Einstein and Bohr's.   Then came Feynman’s.

     For now; none of you can absolutely prove your statements (theories), regarding electricity, fuses, wires, or anything else, as regards our systems.

     The following articles illustrate my point:
