Electricity flows through wires as a stream of electrons. As these electrons move, they collide with the atoms of the materials through which they pass. With each such collision an electron causes an atom to vibrate Hmmm. I need to re-study conduction bands in metals. But at first blush this seems to me to violate the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. How many electrons are we talking about?

A nostalgia physics thread!
It’s so comforting thinking in terms of classical physics. Quantum theory took all the fun away.
