you guys make me laugh since electricity travels 186,000 miles a second it travels 186 miles in 1000th of a second which is 982,080 feet per 1000th of a second say the longest to shortest plug wire is 2 feet longer that would take 1/491040 of 1/1000 of a second to travel that extra 2 feet.

now if you had a plug wire or two that reached around the world so one plug wire 2 feet long and one 24000 miles long (whats that something like 126,000,000 feet?? ) it would take .129 seconds longer to get to the cylinder.
