The speed of flowing charges inside wires is very low, roughly centimeters per minute in copper wires. Also it is proportional to current, so the more amperes you have, the faster is the flow. For zero current, the charges stop drifting entirely.
Also, for DC circuits, the charges do flow forwards in the circuit (moving like a conveyor belt,) but in AC circuits the charges wiggle back and forth over a very tiny distance.
At the same time, the wave-speed of electrical energy is very high; almost the speed of light. Analogy: if you turn one pulley of a conveyor belt, the distant pulley turns almost instantly. Or if you pull on a long chain, the other end of the chain moves almost instantly, while each individual link of the chain only moves slowly. In other words, the "wave of current startup" is fast, and the "wave of current halting" is fast. But the actual flowing of the movable charges within the wire has little to do with this wave speed, and that flow is very slow.
The speed of electrons in a wire is typically very slow, but the flow of electric current is fast. This is because when a voltage is applied to a wire, it creates an electric field that pushes electrons along the wire, causing the flow of electric current.
The unit of electric current is amperes (A), not frames per second (fps). Frames per second is a unit used to measure video or screen display speed.
The opposite of an electric current is the absence of an electric current, meaning no flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Accelerating current refers to the flow of electric current in a circuit that increases in intensity or speed over time. This can be achieved by applying a voltage or electric field that accelerates the movement of charged particles within the circuit. The acceleration of current is commonly used in devices such as particle accelerators and certain types of electronic components.
The relationship between the speed of an electric charge and the electric potential it experiences is that the speed of the charge is directly proportional to the electric potential. This means that as the speed of the charge increases, the electric potential it experiences also increases.

No, electric current is the flow of electrons through a conductor, but the individual electrons do not move at near the speed of light. Instead, the speed of electron movement in a conductor is typically much slower.

it works on heating principle , when we want more speed indecreases its resistance and when we want less speed it increases itresistance to the flow of electric current and get itself heated
The discovery that electric current flows at the speed of light is attributed to a Scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell. In his equations known as Maxwell's equations, he determined that the speed of electromagnetic waves, which includes light and electricity, is constant and equal to the speed of light.
the wave front of electric current. the electrons themselves move much slower but they keep pushing electrons ahead of them on resulting in a wavefront that moves at almost the speed of light.
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
If you're talking about an electric motor, increasing the frequency will increase the speed of rotation of the motor, and decreasing the frequency will decrease the speed of rotation of the motor. The other way of controlling a motor is to control the current; increasing the current increases speed, decreasing current decreases speed.
DC current
The opposite of an electric current is the absence of an electric current, meaning no flow of electric charge through a conductor.
An electric motor draws current from the battery. The amount of current is determined by the position of the accelerator. Most vehicles use a pulsed DC current that is turned on and off depending upon the speed of the vehicle. A hybrid uses an engine that usually runs at a constant speed, charging the batteries as you go. The speed of the engine in the hybrid is usually set for about 35 mph. At this speed, you are drawing the same amount of current that the engine is supplying. At faster speeds, the electric motor draws more on the battery than the engine can supply for a limited distance at higher speeds.
