No, the electrons don't travel anywhere near at the speed of light, so we can't assume that the "electrons travel 2,5km", whatever that means in your insane word.Does someone actually know how far electrons travel at 60hz AC in one half cycle? i mean, some talked about electrons "wiggling" around (i would assume a few mm here) but 1/120 of a second is probably much larger distance for electrons than a few mm
Edit: So with electrons traveling at 300.000km / s .... 1/120 of that is 2,5km, so could we assume with AC electrons travel 2,5km before they turn around?
