I'm new to this forum. Lot's of interesting and good stuff here. A moot point, but, as I remember, and I AM a dinosaur, current is not the speed at which electrons travel, but a measure of the number of electrons that are going by in one second, where one amp is about 6.3 X 10**18 electrons per second.

Cheers,

Andy

Andy,
Welcome along mate!
There are no dinosaurs here, man.
Yeah, you are right, I sort of mucked that explanation up a tad.
