SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the average speed of electrons in a copper conductor connected to a 220 V battery. Given the conductor's length of 10 m, cross-sectional area of 10 mm², and resistance of 0.01695 Ω, the relationship between electric current, charge concentration, and electron velocity is established. The relevant equations include I = dQ/dt and v = J/nq, where J represents current density. The user seeks assistance in determining the number of moving electrons based on these parameters.
