Do not confuse instantaneous velocity, or thermal agitation in km/s, with mean velocity of free-moving charges, or conduction current in mm/s. The resistance of a conductor stems from the numerous collisions taking place within it. These collisions also cause the heating effect known as the "Joule effect."
By convention, current flows from the positive pole to the negative pole. Electrons move in the opposite direction.
