Not very far. Assuming the speed of light, which is a liberal assumption, an electron would only travel 16.7 ms (1/60 Hz) times 3 x 108 m/s (c) or about 5 million meters in one cycle.
AnswerAlthough electrons move haphazardly at very great speed, when under the influence of an electric field, their actual drift along a conductor is very, very, slow. The actual drift depends upon a number of factors, but the distance involved during the period of one cycle or, more meaningfully, during one half-cycle (because the drift direction will reverse!), is likely to be only a fraction of a millimetre.

What is size of char far data type?
char is a primitive data type and depends on the programming language and the operating system.
What is the error signal in an automatic control system?
The error signal in an automatic control system is the difference between the desired setpoint and the actual output of the system. It quantifies how far the system's current state is from the desired state, guiding corrective actions. This signal is crucial for feedback mechanisms to adjust system performance and ensure stability and accuracy. By minimizing the error signal, the control system can achieve its desired performance.
How far does DC voltage travel?
DC Voltage is kind of like water pressure. It needs a conductor (usually a wire) in order to travel. The same way you need a garden hose to carry water pressure. Voltage will drop due to resistance in a very long conductor if a significant current is being drawn.
How far does electricity travel to get to your house?
Every inch of the way from the electric power generator to the outlet in your house. At times, the generator that produced the power for your house may be located in another state, several hundred miles away.

If one were to travel far away from the solar system would there be enough starlight to read by?
No. If you could travel far enough to be at a suitable distance from a star, then yes, there would be the same degree of light as we receive from our sun.
What are the endocrine system messengers and how are they carried through the body?
The endocrine system produces hormones which usually travel by way of the blood. Some don't have to travel very far and just diffuse through the tissues.

Is The Mass Of An Electron Is Equal To The Mass Of A Neutrons?
No. The mass of a neutron is far, far, far greater than the mass of an electron. In fact, the mass of a neutron is approximately about 1840 times greater than the mass of an electron. The particle that has exactly the same mass as an electron is its antiparticle, the positron.

How far up hill can propane travel?
Propane can travel uphill without any issues, as it is a gas and not affected by gravity like liquid fuels. The distance is not limited by the incline of the hill, but rather by the capacity and pressure of the propane tank or system being used.
