If I attached a 10 foot length of speaker wire to one speaker and a 10 mile length to another speaker, attached to the same sound system, will the two speakers be synchronized or will the one be delayed compared to the other?
Yeah, but not much cause electricity travel very very fast.
The difference in speed of two wires would be unnoticeable. As a rough calculation it would take the signal 5/100,000 of a second to go ten miles. Ten feet would be practically instantaneous, but that amount of difference would not be noticeable.
If your wire was 50,000 miles, then you might notice something – there’s be almost a quarter second delay. But ten miles is just too small.
