AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the question of what moves electrons in a closed circular loop with current. The primary answer is that an electric field is responsible for moving electrons. However, participants emphasize the need for clarity and context in questions to provide accurate answers. It is noted that without an external electric field, there would be no current in an ordinary wire. The conversation highlights the importance of thorough inquiry for meaningful scientific discussion.

Not this again.

Please give a complete statement of what it is you are asking, including what you already know. To give a serious answer, we need the context of your question.

I have a quick question for YOU, scientist91, ---

do you know how to 'search' either here on the forum (for previously answered questions) or on the internet (for general questions)?
 
Now look the question. Thank you.

If you have an ordinary wire connected end-to-end under no external field, there is NO CURRENT in the wire. So your scenario is false and cannot be answered. As Doc Al said, if you are too lazy to describe fully your question, don't expect the rest of us to put any considerable effort to answer you.
