And it is equally unlikely that we would have been able to watch the event on a screen painted with moving electrons in our living rooms.

As the wire cuts the magnetic field it acts as a generator, moving electrons from one end to the other.

As a result, it is moving electrons that are primarily responsible for electricity.

Computer components, on the other hand, generate heat as a byproduct of moving electrons around.

The same effect can be produced by moving electrons in the opposite direction.

Materials scientists often face the challenge of finding ways to move electrons across interfaces and through a material, according to John Mitchell.

Replies: For electricity "to move" electrons must be transported in some manner or other.

The magnetic field, in turn causes electric current (moving electrons).

In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire.

You move electrons and photons instead of paper!
