Interesting exchanges. If a pair of wires are 3 x 10^10 cm long; and, a potential is applied to the ends of the wires with a load resistor on the other end, I have two simple questions:
1) How much time passes before the first electron drifts through the load center point assuming the load is only 2 cm long? 2) How much time passes before the first electron to leave the source of potential arrives at the load? Simple questions, eh? Terry
