Are there particles in electricity

Answer 1

Static electricity is stationary electrical charge.

Electrical current is moving electrical charge.

Electrical charge is held in charge carriers.

In electrical wiring there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles from the conduction band of the metal atoms of the wire. These electrons are delocalized and form an "electron gas" that fills the bulk of the solid metal.

In semiconductor electronics there are two types of charge carriers: electrons and holes. Electrons are negatively charged real particles from the conduction band of atoms in the semiconductor. Holes are positively charged virtual particles produced when electrons are missing from the valence band of atoms in the semiconductor.

In vacuum tube electronics there is one type of charge carrier: electrons. Electrons are real particles that can move freely through the vacuum inside the tube envelope from the negatively charged cathode to the positively charged anode.

In chemistry there are two types of charge carriers: negatively charged ions and positively charged ions. Negatively charged ions are atoms with extra electrons n their valence band. Positively charged ions are atoms with electrons missing from their valence band. Atoms are real particles.

In plasma physics there is one kind of charge carrier: positively charged highly ionized atoms. Positively charged highly ionized atoms are atoms missing many (possibly all) electrons. Atoms (even their bare nuclei without any electrons) are real particles.

In particle physics there are three charge states of a particle: negative, neutral, and positive. The negative and positive particles are charge carriers.

So yes, there are particles in electricity.

But then in Quantum Mechanics everything is both a particle and a wave at the same time.
