Actually, it doesn't. 186,000 miles per second is the speed of light in a vacuum; an electrical signal will travel at about 2/3 of this speed, in a typical conductor.
However, I might suggest that electricity does not travel at any speed. It's instantaneous. When you switch on a circuit the flow of electrons along the conductor will be the same at any point along the conductor at any time.
What else can I help you with?
How many miles per second does electricity travel?
Electricity seems to travel at about .66 of the speed of light through a normal cable. This converts to 197863022.28 miles per second. This number can change depending on the cable.
What is the speed of electricity in copper?
13,600 miles per second :-) True dat
How many time can electricity trave 3000 miles in just one second?
Electricity travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second. Therefore, if we consider the distance of 3,000 miles, electricity can cover that distance in about 0.016 seconds. Consequently, electricity can travel 3,000 miles multiple times in one second, specifically around 62 times.
What is the speed of electricity in copper?
The speed of electricity in copper is typically around 95 of the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second.

What is 1501.9 miles per second in meters per second?
1,501.9 miles per second = 2,417,073.75 meters per second.
How do you cnvert 0.9 meter per second to miles per second?
meters per second x 0.000621371192 = miles per second:0.9 x 0.000621371192 = 0.0005592340728 miles per second.

No. 30 miles per second is greater.
If a baseball is traveling at 103 miles per hour what is the speed in meters per second?
103 miles per hour = 1.716666667 miles per second 1.716666667 miles per second = 2762.7072 meters per second
How fast does electricity travel through a conductor?
Electricity travels through a conductor at nearly the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. However, the movement of electrons in a conductor is much slower, typically on the order of millimeters per second.
