We discuss Veritasium's video "The Big Misconception About Electricity". In the video Veritasium asks the question of when the light bulb in a extremely long circuit will actually light.

This point is well discussed already in several videos, see this one in particular for a good explanation of the quiz.

We focus more on the strange nature of Poynting's vector.
