MCQ
In a region $10^{19}$ $\alpha -$ particels and $10^{19}$ protons per second move to the left, while $10^{19}$ electrons moves to the right per second. The current is
  • A
    $3.2\,A$ towards left
  • B
    $3.2\,A$ towards right
  • $6.4\,A$ towards left
  • D
    $6.4\,A$ towards right

Answer

Correct option: C.
$6.4\,A$ towards left
c
Current due to protons and $\alpha$ -particles is towards left and as ${e^ - }$ have $-$ ive charge, so current due to electrons is also towards left

$\therefore $ total current $\mathrm{I}=(2 \mathrm{e}+\mathrm{e}+\mathrm{e}) \times 10^{19}$

${=4 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^{19}} $

${=6.4 \mathrm{\,A}}$
