Classically, electrons do move in a conductor that is passing direct current – but much more slowly than you might think. Let`s break this down:Current in a wire is defined as the amount of charge that passes through a cross-section of that wire in a single second. By this definition alone, it is clear that a current relies on the motion of some charged particle. It is possible that there could be a system where electrons transfer energy to each other, but in classical terms this would not be considered a "current."
