What is produced when there is resistance to the flow of electrons?
It depends on the nature of the device acting as the resistor. All basic circuit components act as resistors. Resistors dissipate energy from the current in the form of heat. Capacitors store energy...
When do electrons flow on a wire?
They do not. They transfer energy from one end to the other. They do not move except in their orbits around nearby atoms.
