ELI5: What are the benefits of a smaller processor nm? like from 32nm to 14nm to 10nm?

Were able to achieve a smaller size only due to the finer resolution that we can make the individual pathways on the silicon that makes up the CPU.   The smaller size means that electrons have to travel less distance and use shed less power in resistance to do the same work.
