The relaxation time of electrons in a metal is of the order of (10^{-14}) to (10^{-12}) seconds, which is the average time between successive collisions with the positive ions in the conductor.

This value indicates the time an electron accelerates before a collision and is crucial for understanding the electrical conductivity of metals.
