The electrons that make up the current in an electric circuit move by

1) interacting with the electric field established in the circuit. 2) bumping into one another in such as way as to send pulses over long distances. The drift speed of individual electrons making up the current is 3) very low, about a snail's pace. 4) about the speed of sound. 5) about the speed of light.
