question

can electrons travel at the speed of light
passage · full text (432 characters)
The word electricity refers generally to the movement of electrons (or other charge carriers) through a conductor in the presence of potential and an electric field. The speed of this flow has multiple meanings. In everyday electrical and electronic devices, the signals or energy travel as electromagnetic waves typically on the order of 50%--99% of the speed of light, while the electrons themselves move (drift) much more slowly.
