If electricity is electrons, do appliances ”consume” electrons ? Or do the electrons only ”go through” the appliance, then back to the grid? Wouldn’t that cause a build-up in the grid?
Thanks in advance!
Electricity is more like wind blowing a sail, or water turning a mill wheel. There’s a lot of it, some of it does work when we harness it to do something and loses a little of its energy in the process, but it doesn’t actually get used up.
