Elementary question - what makes the current flow?

YOUR A TROLL

NOBODY WANTS WILLFULLY FOLLOW DOWN WIND FROM YOUR HAIRY STINKING
FAGGOTY ARSE OF YOURS

I AM PROTEUS

Please, in your subsequent sessions with the bottle...

Drink more.. That way, you are certain to die sooner.

YOU WISH I WAS A DRUNKEN FAGGOTY FOOLHEATY TROLL LIKE YOU

IT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL JUSTIFIED BUT IT WON'T

I DO NOT CONSUME DRINKS YOU HUMAN PILE OF TRASH

I AM PROTEUS

Then perhaps you should consume a course in English grammar and
composition, idiot.

"very slowly" is a stupid, misleading statement. Period.

Do you even know what a coulomb is? How about fifty of them?

Actually, Dave does know. Note also that he correctly indicated "charged
particles"- which are not necessarily electrons as Salmon Egg has noted.
And, yes, electrons <in a wire> just bumble along, slowly, in a mob, taking
in the local scenery. This is not new knowledge.

No... SOME electrons bumble. Gazillions of Coulombs of them FLOW
right past the eye of you "slow mover", blind as a bat dopes.

Think about it. They MUST move or none of it works. You do still know
what the word "work" means, right?

--------------------------------

It appears that you have some confusion between velocity and quantity.
The asinine "Gazillions of Coulombs" indicates the latter.
Let's see, 6E20 electrons moving at 1cm/sec results in a flow of 1
coulomb/sec or 1 Ampere.
At this rate, at 60Hz, a given electron somewhere in the wire will wiggle
around about 0.02 cm one way or the other- yet energy is transferred from
source to load at near light speed-appreciably faster than any electron can
move down a wire. Oops, that involves wave velocity rather than particle
velocity.

No. It simply means that once a source is created, any conductor that
source uses as a feed has it electrons immediately available at whatever
tail end of whatever feed conductor. It doesn't have to make the trip,
the PRESSURE is already there, and GOES the moment you energize the load.

----------------------
So, while you haven't considered wave velocity, you are agreeing that it is
not the velocity of the individual charge carriers in the wire that is
important.
This is in contrast to what you were implying earlier but is not in
contradiction of anything that I have said.

Thank you.

WHAT A TROLL YOU ARE
THERE ARE NO AVAILABL;E ELECTRONS IMMEDIATELY AS YOU STATE HERE T
HE ELECTRONS ARE ALWAYS THEREAS A MATTER OF FACT EVEN WITH THE DEVICE
ON THE OFF POSITION

VERY MUCH LIKE YOUR ANAL APERTURE IS ALWAYS HERE OPEN AND AVAILABLE
FOR YHE GROUPD DEEP PROBES

STOP TRYING TO SOUND LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ELECTRICTY AND GET
BACK TO YOUR SISSIFIED WHINING AND SELF IMMOLATION FREAK STAY OUT OF
THIS GROUP ARCHIMEDES'

I AM PROTEUS

**** you, ProTurdeus. You are pathetic. You are a fag. You are an
idiot. You are a failure. You will never get any absolution.

My fingernail clippings knows more electronics than you do, retard boy.
