ElI5 Where does electricity go?

563 viewsOtherTechnology

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!

Electrons are like delivery trucks for electricity. They carry some energy to the user, drop it off there, then go back to the warehouse for more.
