Re: Current Flow (shouldn't it be "charge flow?")


I, for one, don't believe so. Electrons have the property of mass and
charge. Electrons flow through the wire.

Right you are, Brian, and praise to you for pointing this out -- but we
physicists -- well, some of us -- insist on reifying properties. It is a
disappointing habit -- which competent physics teachers should persist in
trying to obliterate.
