The understanding is that electricity simply *passes* through a conductor pushing electrons but isn’t mass required to be able to “push”?? And while at it I wonder… Is there evidence of electricity being present in other planets? or in open space? Please ELI5
In: Physics
The explanations are good but I’d like to add a clarifying point: each individual electron isn’t flowing down the wire, exactly. Its like, the atom loses an electron to the next one, which loses one to the next one and so on. Like peas in a straw, they all move but each one moves one space.
