Default speed?
ok so we all know that the speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s
the speed of sound = 340.29 m / s
Is there a speed on electicity? what is it?

When electric current flows thru a wire, some electrons come in on one side and some go out on the other side. Electrons that come in on one side dont necessarily come out on the other.
