if you noticed,q in current electricty =the electron charge*the number of the electrones.
how the electron moves in a closed circuit?the battry gives some energy to the free electrones in atoms of the conductor(from the p or o orbits),so that it frees it from the atom.and it moves to the low poinental area (the - side)to deliver energy.
the first electrons have a lot of energy,so other electrones take some(usually that half).
so ALL the electrons moves.
its similar to the water pipe,at the first it create pressure(energy),so the water flows to the low pressure(low energy) area(our tap),so all the water moves.
and i have no idea where is LincolnPirate is,hijacking sudanese ships perhaps?
