If there's nothing flowing, then it's..... what? just a wave of energy that excites the existing electrons between point A and point B coming from the direction that the energy wave started.... to make it look like a surge of electricity moving?
I didnt say that there wasnt anything flowing.
A wire (or any metal for this matter) has a lot of electrons inside it. The difference is when there is an electric current passing the electrons are moving, and when there is no current the electrons are at rest. But the amount of electrons inside the wire is the same. A battery, a dynamo, or whatever, does not create electrons. It just makes them move.
