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!

The electrons basically slow down as they do work in the device, they are still present in the same numbers it is their motion which is the energy. Think of it like children climbing up one of those huge slides, children are the electrons the steps going up are the electricity giving the electron potential energy and when they slide down they have kinetic energy.
