what is the fact that electrons move slowly got to do with the fact that the current flow alternates ?
since the electrons are said to go from a positive to a negative pole, or is it the holes ?, does not matter, whats matter is the fact they move.
if they move, they can move in either direction regardless of their speed, no ?
the polarity changes is what make the current alternate.

My intent was to clarify a statement so that the people here may better understand what is happening in their circuits, the only thing I can offer is what is known as "common knowledge" in physics. For instance it is common knowledge that the electric and magnetic fields are the mechanism for energy transfer in a conductor not electrons, the electrons moving are an effect that occurs after the fact it is not a cause of an Alternating Current. If we want to understand Alternating Currents I think we should make an effort to understand "what" it is fundamentally. It is also common knowledge in physic's that the electrons move from the negative pole to the positive pole, this is called "electron notation" which corrects Faraday's mistake in thinking they moved from positive to negative. The negative pole is negative because that is where a majority of the electrons reside and these electrons have a negative charge. As well the "hole" analogy is a myth, there are no "holes" it is a bad analogy which is continually repeated in high school textbooks for the sake of simplicity.
I believe these facts do matter, how can we hope to succeed in understanding the nature of the circuits we build when much of what we have read in outdated textbooks amounts to an "urban legend" in this supposedly modern age.

NOW YOU ALL JUST NEED THE COIL ... 

FROM THERE YOU WILL LEARN

ALUM IS REQUIRED ... 

I PERSONALLY WOULD TRY ... 

A PANCAKE OR A T COIL PRIMARY... 

ITS ALL ABOUT SURFACE AREA ABOVE 3KV...

IST!

AND WHAT HAPPINS WHEN YOU RINGGGGG IT ...  WE~L~ COME HOME ....
