The drift speed is small, and yet the signal is very fast. This is because when you talk on
the telephone, as soon as electrons on one end of the wire begin moving, their electric
fields affect adjacent electrons, which also begin moving. This effect propagates down
the wire at almost the speed of light, so current begins everywhere almost
simultaneously.

8)

Conductivity is derived from J = nqvd and J = Sigma E. Because in a metal, q = e, and


the drift velocity depends on F = qE = eE, there is an e2 term in J. When deriving Sigma
from the previous equations, that e2 term remains.

13)

Because resistance increases linearly as temperature increases in more metals,

19)

Energy dissipated by a resistor (the wire) per unit time is equal to V*I. This means that
transmitting with high voltage and low current or low voltage and high current would be
essentially the same loss in energy.
