--- Quote from: MIS42N on March 04, 2021, 12:13:02 am --- Ignoring exotic particles, electrons have to be moved at some time for a current to flow. The electron might not be the focus of attention (such as when a stream of protons is created) but it's moving in the background. Conservation of charge says it has to. --- End quote --- By that logic and by invoking 'conservation of charge', surely the inverse must also be true? So if there is current in a wire, explain where the proton (or positive charge carrier of your choice) motion is? |
