How can electrons that make up a current not repel each other at far distances due to their like charges? I understand why protons are bunched up together , because of the strong force. Though electrons are not packed up against one another like protons and neutrons, they are still a short distance apart from each other that's needed to create a current. Since the strong force is not governing the motion of electrons, what phenomena prevents electrons from spreading far apart from each other?
