The power is disspated at the load, and there is nothing to return to any
other location.

Maybe you could explain this hypothetical, sort of electricity for
dummies.

Use a DC source (because electrons actually flow through a wire and we
don't have to worry about B and H waves.) 9 volt battery, incandescent
lamp like a flashlight bulb, two wires (high potential and "not return.")

Light and heat are produced in the lamp.

What changes in the electrons flowing through the wire?

** Nothing.


Energy must have been sucked out of them, and that must be reflected
in some physical change to said electrons.

** Nope.

They should be different pre-lamp and post-lamp.

** Tired electrons ?

ROTFL !!


What happens in the "not return" line?


** False concept.

Electrons leave by one wire and return to the source by the other.

If they meet "resistance" then work is done by the source in propelling them
through that resistance. The work done is heating that resistance and the
energy released is proportional to the square of the number of electrons per
second travelling in the loop.

The simple ****ing fact is that it is ELECTRONS that return, not power.
