Net current ${i_{net}} = {i_{( + )}} + {i_{( - )}}$

$ = \frac{{{n_{( + )}}{q_{( + )}}}}{t} + \frac{{{n_{( - )}}{q_{( - )}}}}{t}$

$ = \frac{{{n_{( + )}}}}{t} \times 2e + \frac{{{n_{( - )}}}}{t} \times e$

$= 3.2 \times {10^{18}} \times 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} + 3.6 \times {10^{18}} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$

$= 1.6\, A$ (towards right)
