Question

B. La velocidad de los electrones en los conductores metálicos es muy pequeña, del orden de algunos mm por segundo. ¿Cómo podrías explicar que cuando se cierra el interruptor de, una bombilla situada a 10m de distancia se ilumina casi instantáneamente? (explica tu respuesta construyendo una hipótesis deductiva a partir de la relación de algunas leyes físicas y teorías científicas.)

Answer 1

electromagnetic wave. this energy is what lights the bulb.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you close an electrical circuit, the electrons have a small drag speed, but the fluctuation of the electric field that is created originates by Lenz's law a magnetic field and the appearance of this magnetic field creates a fluctuating elective field, these two fields together forms a wave called an electromagnetic wave.

This electromagnetic wave has a speed given by the relation

v = √1 /ε μ

in a vacuum this speed is equal to the speed of light, which is worth 3 10⁸ m/s this very high value so the energy transported by this wave can travel the distance of 10 m in less than 10⁻⁷ s, This energy is what lights the bulb.
