1. Yes
2. when charges are moving closer together, the lower the PE, and that change of PE does work: lighting bulbs, moving motors, etc. Charge flow does work.
Do electrons (as a charge) really flow in a conductor or only energy is transfered through waves? Suppose a metal,copper is taken as a conductor, now when electrons from the metal towards the negative terminal of the battery, the conductor should get charge and must become very unstable.. So my question is, 1. Do electrons literally move in a conductor? 2. What's the phenomenon under which energy is transfered in a conductor?
