When a light is turned on, it is tempting to think that the electricity is flowing into the lamp at the same speed as the light particles are coming out - that is to say, at the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s). In fact, for a typical copper wire, electrons carrying a 10 amp charge only move along the wire at a speed of a quarter millimeter per second.
