Speed of electricity

[Testarossa002]

What's the standard speed on this Wiki for the speed of electricity?

I'm not science inclined so I'll appreciate a layman explanation

Lightning Feats

Many fictional characters make use of attacks or equipment that produces lightning or electricity. As such it useful to know how to quantify lightning feats. Most electricity in fiction is not real lightning. Often it is supernatural in nature, and is possibly not even electricity. Therefore...

440,000 m/s for lightning

Speed of Electricity

vsbattles.fandom.com

556 m/s for normal electricity

Can you explain this to me then

Quite confused about the whole science thingy

I am not entirely sure but i believe thats the speed of electrecity in a vacuum and the speeds the wiki uses are electricity traveling through the air

From ChatGPT

The speed of electricity can vary depending on the medium through which it travels. In a vacuum or air, the speed of electricity is approximately the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). However, when electricity passes through conductive materials like copper wires, its speed is significantly slower, typically ranging from about 50% to 99% of the speed of light, depending on the properties of the material.

We really shouldn’t be using Chatbots as sources when doing calculations since they aren’t always accurate with the prompts they are given to the point where they tend to make things up.

Don't use ChatGPT for anything lol. A lot of the time it just spits out garbage that sounds true. Couldn't tell ya if this is one of those times, but for future reference I'd recommend staying away from it.

Edit: Ninja'd

Alright

Electricity ≠ Lightning

Most of the time, the speed of electricity they're referencing is the "electric signals" that are sent throughout your brain, wires, etc, which do move at the SOL. Electromagnetic waves are the signals, which is radiation, which moves at the speed of light.

If you plug your phone into a charger, then plug the other side in, the energy moves at A while the signal that it's charging moves at B.
The signal that moves at B is the electric signal, which moves at the speed of light.
The actual energy at A moves much slower.

In everyday electrical and electronic devices, the signals travel as electromagnetic waves typically at 50%–99% of the speed of light in vacuum, while the electrons themselves move much more slowly

That's the easiest way to explain it

Damn wanted to say this albeit in a more simplified manner.
Good shit though.

I go by Tempest weenie, I hoped I'd know about basic electricity principles
