Electrons, that make up an Electric Current move at the Speed of Light.
Further CommentAlthough electrons move rapidly, their movement is quite chaotic. But the actual drift of electrons along a conductor -i.e. current- is V-E-R-Y slow. So slow, in fact, that an individual electron, flowing through a flashlight bulb's filament, is unlikely to travel the length of that filament during the lifetime of its battery,
What else can I help you with?
Which of this speed are faster than the speed of a nerve messagespeed of electricityspeed of sound or speed of light?
The speed of light is faster than the speed of a nerve message, speed of electricity, and speed of sound. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second, while nerve impulses, electricity, and sound waves travel much slower.
Which travels in a straight line sound light electricity?
Electricity.
Can light and sound travel through vacuum?
Light can. Sound can't.
What things can light and sound travel through?
sound and light can travel through sound air solids water liquids light wiers lightbubs extentions etc.
Can light and sound travel through space?
light can but sound cant as there is no air
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
Is electricity faster than sound?
Yes. In air, sound travels at about 300 or 330 meters/second (it varies, depending on the temperature - also, sound in water or steel, for example, is quite a bit faster). But an electrical signal can go at about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - that would be about 200,000 kilometers/second.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
What is the speed of electricity or lightning compared to the speed of sound and light?
The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Yes, both light and sound can travel through glass. Glass is transparent to light, allowing it to pass through without significant absorption or scattering. Sound can also travel through glass, but with some attenuation due to its denser nature compared to air.
How do you Compare and contrast light and sound energy?
Light energy consists of electromagnetic waves that travel at the speed of light, while sound energy consists of mechanical waves that travel at a much slower speed. Light energy does not require a medium to travel through, whereas sound energy does. Light energy can travel through a vacuum, whereas sound energy cannot.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.
