Energy does flow in the conductor, if it didn't the wire wouldn't get hot. Current doesn't leave and return, charge flows, current is the measurement (time) of the flow ( Quantity of charge) through a cross section of the conductor.
How Electricity Actually Works
In November of last year I posted a Vertasium YT vid titled "The Big Misconception About Electricity". Well it caused quite a stir and like an arachnid had many legs many of which attempted to draw A'gonrs into the poison fangs!
Well, here is the follow-up to that original vid which caused quite a stir in the "intellectual" community as well.
Vertasium "How Electricity Actually Works".
This does have implications for our audio cabling...

If we are going to be pedantic. Electrons don’t flow, but they have a net biased movement direction where a current exists. The total kinetic momentum (embodied energy) will be a factor of current. Energy does not flow in the conductor, but there is energy in the conductor in the form of net kinetic momentum. EM fields don’t flow, they propagate. The energy is transferred in the EM field. |
Electricity travels like Light in a wave and the voltage and current travel out of phase. Watch the video it Cool 😎 as they go where few have to explain. Still there is much we do not know🤷♂️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHIhgxav9LY
