Hans Christian Oersted. In 1820, a Danish physics teacher observed that the current moving through a wire moved the needle on a nearby compass. when the current was reversed, the compass needle was deflected in the opposite direction. these magnetic effects ceased when the current in the wire stopped.
The electrons do literally move, both in AC and DC. However, the movement of electrons and the transfer of energy do not occur at the same speed. The key is that there are already electrons filling up the wire all along its length. A common analogy for electrical current in a circuit is the flow of water through pipes. Imagine a water pump connected to a loop of pipes.
