What is the speed of electricity in km/s and m/s

Solution

It depends on voltage, material; etc. But as an example, for a 12-gauge copper wire carrying a 10-ampere DC current, the speed of electric current (average electron drift velocity) is about 80 centimeters per hour or about 0.0002 meters per second.
