Answer: Heyo Kenji Here! Here's your answer- The electricity that is conducted through copper wires in your home consists of moving electrons. The protons and neutrons of the copper atoms do not move. The actual progression of the individual electrons in a given direction through the wire is quite slow.

Explanation: Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
