TEM-Wave Theories of Electricity
There are two mutually-exclusive theories of electricity. One is the popular theory of electric current running inside of wires (Theory Normal), the other is the theory of TEM waves moving at the speed of light between and around the wires (Theory Heaviside, Catt, TEM Wave). The popular theory had crowded out TEM-Wave theory over the course of the the 20th Century, almost to extinction. Due to the needs of digital electronics, it is enjoying a resurgence in the 21st Century.
"TEM" stands for Transverse ElectroMagnetic, a term that almost entirely went out of use by the turn of the 21st C. A photon, as originally conceived, is a quantized TEM wave. It was then described as a "packet of energy", which obscures the TEM-wave definition. A TEM wave has two mutually orthoganal fields, electric and magnetic, both transverse to the direction of travel. The idea comes directly from the study of how electricity propagates.
The 19th Century concept of a rail-to-rail TEM wave guided by the two conductors, as a train is guided by the two rails of a railroad track, is closer to the truth than is the electric-current picture. Resistance heats up the wires, outside to inside, like the rolling-resistance to the train's movement heats up the train-track rails. The term "rail-to-rail", used in electronics, is one of the linguistic vestiges of TEM-wave theory.

These animations help to understand and visualize how electricity actually works in an electric circuit. It is not a current in the wires.

Many Problems With Electric Current
We begin with the most important electromagnetics paper of the 20th Century,
all two pages of it. This suffices to show that the theory of electric current cannot work.
"'Electricity' is the last of the medaeval fluids. Its downfall came when mass was attributed to it." -Ivor Catt
The Catt Question
The Catt Question is in regard to a two-wire
transmission line in conventional electromagnetic theory (Theory N). See figures 1, 2, and 3.
In order for the transverse electric field to exist, there has to be an excess of negative electric charge transported toward the battery on the
upper wire, and an excess of negative charge moving toward the load on the lower wire. Otherwise, there would not be any possible voltage
difference between the two wires.
Where does the negative charge come from on the lower wire?
Hundreds of attempts, and no one has been able to answer this question. No one can.
