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.


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.


Is the speed of travel of electricity in a conductor less than or equal to the speed of light?

Nothing is faster than the speed of light.


What is the speed of electricity?

The speed of an electric current is determined according to v = I/nAQ (average speed equals current divided by the number of charged particles moving, the cross-sectional area of the conductor and the charge of the particles). This basically means that a normal current e.g. the current in a house's wiring travels at about walking pace.


Does ceiling fan consume less electricity on high speed?

Ceiling fans use less electricity on low speed than they do on medium and high speed. Capacitors are used to control the various fan speeds. The capacitor limits the amount of electricity supplied to the fan motor. When less electricity is sent to the windings in the motor, the fan spins at a lower RPM. The result is a slower speed and less airflow. However, some fans move almost no air at low speeds, so it is important to know what the CFM/watts is for the ceiling fan in question so you can compare the performance at any given speed relative to the amount of electricity used

Is electricity as fast as light?

No, electricity does not travel at the speed of light. The speed at which electricity travels depends on the medium it is passing through. In most cases, electricity travels at a fraction of the speed of light.


What is faster sound or electricity?

Electricity is faster than sound. The speed of electricity through a conductor is close to the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound through air.


What is the speed of electricity in copper?

The speed of electricity in copper is typically around 95 of the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second.


What is the minimum speed of the 6v motor to produce electricity?

The minimum speed of 6v motor to produce electricity is 15 Mph.


Can you move faster than electricity?

No, electricity moves at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in the universe. Therefore, it is not possible for anything to move faster than electricity.


Why is the speed of electricity not equal to the speed of light?

Because electricity is the movement and flow of electrons, which are matter. Since they are matter, they cannot reach the speed of light.AnswerBy the 'speed of electricity' you presumably mean the 'speed of charges through a conductor'? (Remember 'electricity' is not a quantity!). The answer is that they move through a conductor v-e-r-y slowly -for normal conductors, just a fraction of a millimetre per second!
