They don't. In the case of d.c., electrons move extremely slowly through a conductor, less than a millimetre per hour; in the case of a.c., they simply vibrate backwards and forwards. So electrons don't transfer energy from the supply to the load. Energy doesn't even pass through wires -it is transferred by a combination of the magnetic and electric fields, around the wire.

Electrons collide with particles in hotter region,

gain energy; move randomly to cooler region,

collide with particles there, give them energy

How do electrons help in transfer of heat energy?

when a substance is heated,the molecules in that substance get heat energy. we know that all of the molecule in the substance having electrons. when substance is heated. electrons becoming high energetic.and they move faster and also energy will propagate though out the substance
