Question

Determine how far electricity travels in 7 ms. Express your answer in miles.?

Answer 1

1,302 miles.  Electricity travels at the speed of 186,000 per second

Answer 2

The speed of electricity varies depending on what it's traveling through.  It's normally close to the speed of light, and the question is probably assuming you'll use that speed.  Speed of light is 186,000 miles per second * 0.007 seconds = 1302 miles.

Answer 3

Depends on the voltage and Resistance. EDIT/////// Do not believe those silly people who believe electricity travels nearly as fast as light!  Lightening travels around 20,000 miles per second, I believe. You can read all about it here.

Answer 4

I can't answer that question.  I can attempt to explain why.  The speed at which electricity travels such as lightning depends on resistances in between 2 points.  If there is more moisture in the air it should make electricity travel faster because there is more conductivity.  Lightning usually travels faster than the speed of sound but I have seen lightning close and not heard the thunder.
