Answer: Electrons move slowly through the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons move slowly through the object ''1 mm per hour'' following random paths as they bounce off atoms and other electrons. This joggling of electrons propagates through the object ''at speeds approaching that of light'' producing an electric current, as well as causing resistive heating of the object and a magnetic field around the object.
