No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.
insulator. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electric current, which hinders the movement of electrons through the material. This property makes insulators useful for applications where electrical conductivity needs to be limited.
When voltage is changed, the distance electrons travel in a circuit will increase if the voltage is increased, and decrease if the voltage is decreased. This is because voltage is directly proportional to the energy of the electrons, which affects how far they can travel through the circuit.
When electrons travel through a filament, they collide with atoms in the filament material. These collisions cause the electrons to lose energy and heat up the filament, which then emits light. This process is how an incandescent light bulb produces light.
Electricity only travels through objects that have de-localized electrons or aqueous ions. The current relies on charged particles to travel on. Metals and Graphite have specific bonding that leaves an electron free to travel through the material carrying the charge and anything with ionic bonding needs to be dissolved or melted for the charged atoms to separate allowing electrolysis so the electrons can flow through. Most water does this too because it has hydrogen and oxygen ions mixed in.
Electricity can travel throughout freely moving Electrons, like in metal which is in wires under the rubber.
Electrons can travel through a vacuum because there are no atoms or molecules to collide with, allowing them to move freely. In air, electrons collide with the molecules present, which disrupts their movement and prevents them from traveling efficiently.
Materials that allow electrons to travel easily are known as conductors. Some common examples of conductors include metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum. In conductors, electrons are able to move freely due to the presence of delocalized electrons in the material's atomic structure.

Through ions or electrons.
In a galvanic cell made with silver and nickel electrodes, the nickel electrode undergoes oxidation as it loses electrons, which travel through the external circuit to the silver electrode where reduction occurs. This flow of electrons generates an electric current in the cell.
Yes, electricity can flow through an iron nail. Iron is a good conductor of electricity, allowing electrons to move freely through it. This is why iron nails are commonly used in science experiments to demonstrate electrical conductivity.

In a circuit, electrons travel through a conductive path typically made of materials like copper wires. The movement of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.
