Hey, question; Considering the chain movement of the electric current in a conductor to be close to the speed of light (298,000 km/s), what would be the max frequency the conductor can transport, without create collision or attenuation? Just move your finger up and down, once a second, now twice a second, now 5 times a second, 10, 20, you already got a frequency where your muscle can not answer anymore, and your finger will be stopped, right? Then you feel a muscle in your arm get tense, this is circuit overrun, total attenuation. How we calculate the electric circuit overrun based on the max possible conductor stimulation? Wagner
