RE: Right. Now explain that to your buddy Dennis!(nt)

or Dennis could just read this.
First a quote (from a different source) to set the stage.
"However, it's important to understand that electron flow and charge flow are not the same thing. It is the flow of an electric field through the wire that creates the effect we understand as electricity, not the actual movement of electrons, which is relatively slow."
Now a quote from the pdf,
"Current flow does not mean "one electron in - same
electron out." This happens very slowly as that
individual electron travels through the conductor.
Instead, it means "one electron in-one electron out."
This can happen almost instantaneously, as Figure 2
suggests."And the instantaneous speed (almost the speed of light) of this understanding of "current flow" is what makes all of Dennis' talk about distances absurd.
