studiot Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 14 hours ago, Morto said: I remember been taught at school that the electricity is a movement of electrons. Ok, it's nice and clear. But then I found out that the speed with which electrons are moving in a wire is millimiters per second. It doesn't make sense to me. So what is electricity if it's not a movement of electrons and what is the speed of it? I would think you were actually taught rather more than 'electricity is a movement of electrons'Â Electricity is usually the general term for the phenomenon of several effects we lump together and call 'electricity'. That would include 'static electricity' , electric current, ionic mobility and a whole host of other effects. Which one are you particularly interested in ?
