That makes sense, thank you. And if you or someone else could refresh my memory: is the electric field generated by exchange of virtual photons between electrons? Or if not, how is it composed?

By what means does an electron carry energy in a circuit? What physical aspect of the electron is changing under the influence of say 6 V versus 12 V? Kinetic energy doesn't explain it as electrons at later points in the circuit would be slower and bog down higher-energy electrons in earlier...
