This electons flowing rubbish

--- 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.

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?

Ah but where are the positrons?

Hiding out in their non-gender-specific rest rooms?

I don't think anybody's objected to *circulating*, just as long as they're not *flowing* in places they're not meant to
