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
As others have mentioned, electrons do have some tiny mass. Like, really tiny. Something yet to be mentioned is the correlation of wattage to joules. Wattage represents the electrical ‘work,’ Volts x Amps. Whereas Joules represent physical work. Even though these concepts are somewhat separate, there is enough overlap as to allow for a conversion between Watt and Joule. This insinuates that some form of ‘work’ is done within a given a circuit. Work only occurs from moving/displacing masses.
