How does the electricity travel ?

Answer Posted / ptttt

Electrons move from one atom to the next in a conductor
under the influence of a potential (voltage), or through
induction (via a moving magnetic field).

The electrons move relatively slowly, but the
electromagnetic wave "pushing" the electrons travels at the
speed of light.
