What makes electricity want to move? And when it does, is it the same electrons along the way? Or is it pushing electrons out of atoms in like a domino effect?

Imagine you have a tube of marbles laying horizontally.

If you push a marble on one side, a marble falls out of the other side. It’s not the same marble.

Electrons do have mass. Electricity is a force. Specifically, it is part of the electromagnetic force.
