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!

Adding on to the rest of what everyone said, some of the energy is also lost in heat. This is why older appliances use more power while newer ones use less and can achieve the same result (or better). With that being said, I realize that I am explaining more about efficiency and how the energy is used vs “where it goes”.
