When electric current is flowing in a metal, the electrons are movinga. at nearly the speed of light. b. at the speed of sound in air. c. at the speed of sound in the metal. d. at none of the above speeds. e. at the speed of light.

Option (d)

Explanation:

The electrons in a conductor moves with the drift velocity when the electric current is flowing through the conductor.

The drift velocity is due to the applied electric field across the conductor.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
