Is there molecular friction and movement in balanced loads at the quantum level?

I have a questions about 120/240v service under balanced loads. When I have a balanced 120v loads the neutral carries no current. I understand the math and vectoral math to this. I am wondering if at molecular level in Quantum Physics if there is actually molecular friction and movement but it is not measurable by any conventional equipment like tong meters? Normally current flows back to source of what created it. Maybe someone can assist with this.

I would think that at the molecular level there would be movement or Molecular friction. I just need to get confirmation on my suspicion. For all intensive purpose there should be no current flow as far as a measurable level. Looking for any opinion on this issue...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
