(Heads-up: these might be QM questions)
Two questions:
1.) What is it that gives rise to the fact that conductive metals provide a much lower potential for electrons to exist, than in free space?
2.) If conduction in wires take place due to an E-field that "travels" through/along the wire, why do the electrons move so slow?
