OK, electricity is the flow of electrons thru a conductor?

Question

Where do these electrons come from? What happens to the atoms they came from? Is there more electricity at the beginning of a conductor wire than at the end, since some has gone to sockets and receptacles? After the flow of electrons goes thru my house and everyone else's house, where does it go?

Answer 2

In a conductor, the atoms are so close together that the outer electrons move freely from atom to atom in a kind of "electron gas". Electrons that flow away from an atom are replaced by an electron from a neighboring atom, and so on. Normally these atoms move in a random direction, until an electric or magnetic field causes them all to move in the same direction.

In a DC circuit, extra electrons are pushed out of the negative terminal of a battery, and are sucked into the positive terminal, creating a complete circuit.

In AC systems, the electrons simply oscillate back and forth in unison around the same point as the electromagnetic wave passes. The electrons don't actually go anywhere.

Answer 3

yes. the electrons are in a power source a power source can be any thing with energy ie poteintial energy. there is not more electricity at the begining of a conductor
