Put an ammeter there and it says zero. That's zero. Electrons bouncing
around in the conductor have an average net displacement, over time, of 0.

Is this an AC ammeter, or a DC ammeter? (And isn't that just a voltmeter
anyway, in most actual cases????) Hmmm...

No. With the exception of electroscopes and such like, all voltmeters
are really ammmeters and what was being referred to was really a
galvanometer
