Electric current, Drude model and Brownian motion.
Although the Drude model has a good grasp of conductivity it fails in part because it incorrectly assumes the existence of electrons
An assumption that should have been dismissed at least a century ago. It is the ATOM which bounces around, not the imaginary electron.
So if one correctly models “current” as the atom rather than the electron bouncing around, as Drude originally speculated, then confirmation by observation can back up this assumption. Seeing as we know the atom has an inherent magnetic field. And we know from observations that if one moves a magnetic field a current is induced. No need for bouncing electrons and Quantum theory.
