Electrons are responsible for conduction in a conductor. The speed of electron is not very high. Then, how the bulb is on immediately even through the switch and bulb are far away from each other in a household circuit?
This is because the number of the free electrons constituting current in a typical conductor is very large of order 1018 or more. This large electron number density keeps the good amount of current flowing through.
