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.

What is speed electricity?
Approximately the same as the speed of light.
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.
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.
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
Can electricity travel at the speed of light?
Electromagnetic waves propagate at or near the speed of light, since photons are the carrier of the electromagnetic force, however electricity (that is, the transfer of electrons in a coil or wire) travels quite a bit slower Electrons will vibrate in the coil at "Fermi velocity" which is 1500000 m/s for electrons, but will actually travel the length of the wire at .0003 m/s So, usually no, electricity does not travel at the same speed as light.
Is electricity as fast as light?
No; while the speed of light is a constant, the speed of electricity is dependant on many cofactors.
What is speed electricity?
Approximately the same as the speed of light.
What is the minimum speed of the 6v motor to produce electricity?
The minimum speed of 6v motor to produce electricity is 15 Mph.
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!
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.
What speed does electricity current reach?
HYURTYRTETREWR
Does the distance affect the speed of supply of electricity?
yes
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.
Do you use more electricity if your fan or AC is on higher speed than on lower speed?
ya
Electricity generation using speed breaker working?
how to work a project on speed breaker energy
Does the speed of a wind mill determine the amount of electricity?
yes it does. the faster the blade turns the more electricity it produces
Does electricity generation in dynamo depend on speed of spindle?
Yes
