Is electricity weightless?

572 views

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

Electrons have weight and mass, but electric*ity* isn’t quite the same as electrons. Electricity is the movement of electrons. So your question is a bit like like asking “does sound have weight?” Like, air has weight, but maybe the vibrations *of* the air don’t count as having weight.
