I've always imagined that electrons move in the circuit like a gas pulled by electric field. All that at some speed, which was significant, maybe like 30,000 mph. But at any rate a great speed. That is why we get heating up, because that electron gas keeps on colliding with atoms in the wire. Now, …

Is this utterly wrong?
