    Ugh, you’re getting into the realm in which technicality is hard to explain.

    That’s technically wrong. Even though ampere is coulomb/sec, electrons don’t actually flow.

      Like I said it falls apart on its edges but for most people it’s probably a better understanding of it than they will ever have or need, but most people scrolling thru Lemmy probably don’t need to be understanding electrical concepts like electrons not actually flowing, charge, etc. I’m a controls engineer and while I am aware of the concepts and such, I am not designing electronics so at the end of the day I barely have a use for half of the concepts myself. Sure I could get down to the half semester class of quantum where things get weird, but that won’t easily tell people to not to try to plug their fridge into a car battery
