| In the Charge And Charge Motion page, we note that current is the result of transferring electrons from atom to atom in a material. In almost all cases, there is some opposition to the motion of electrons in a material. This results in some loss of energy when transferring charges through a material—in general, this energy loss results from conversion of electrical energy to heat((Yes, there are such things as superconductors which experience no losses when transferring electrons. Those materials are rare enough so that we won't really worry about them here.)). | In the Charge And Charge Motion page, we note that current is the result of transferring electrons from atom to atom in a material.
