If electricity is so fast, how it doesn’t immediately charge up capacitors and batteries?

Question

I’m pretty aware that this is a “dumb” question, but my basic understanding of electricity can’t figure it out. I know the basic concept of resistance, currency and voltage, but I can’t comprehend how it takes so long to store charge in a battery

Answer 1

Cause charges pushing through isolated gapds can’t just hop to the other side, it is probabilistic, the more “tension” the easiest.
Also, chemical batteries like car batteries relies on redox processes that takes time to oxidate different metals, electricity is fast, but ions in an electrolytic solution arent.
