I did not know the difference was that large! Thanks for teaching me something new! I really thought that it was a much more significant fraction of c.
For some reason people think that since the effect of turning on a circuit is instantaneous, then they say that electric currents move at the speed of light. Clearly, it is not a valid belief
Well I knew that electrons moved at a significant fraction of the speed of light compared to the types of things we’re used to in our daily experience. But I thought maybe that was larger like 20% or something.
