How does the electric field propagates through a wire?

Hello, I am asking for a clarification. It appears that nobody is differentiating between Ohms Law and how AC/DC works. This conversation is a tad murky. :-) Thanks

Ohm's law relates the E-field inside a conductor to the current density. It works for both AC and DC circuits, so I am not sure what "differentiating" needs to be done.

Original questioner: are you still here? If so we could get into a very interesting discussion of how and why current flows through a conductor, pretty much without all the math involved in engineering. Last time we did this was on a question something like, "how does electricity flow thru a conductor?"

Pretty interesting stuff at a quasi quantum level. Every time it happens I learn something new about a a very "strange" process.

Also woronerD, I understand what you are saying. Same point you are making.
