The mean peak speed is 136 cm/s (54 in/s), but the current can reach 245 cm/s (96 in/s).
Persistent current. In physics, persistent current is a perpetual electric current that does not require an external power source. Such a current is impossible in normal electrical devices, since all commonly-used conductors have a non-zero resistance, and this resistance would rapidly dissipate any such current as heat.
