Answer:
[tex]2.429783984\times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]
Explanation:
Velocity of electron = 6020 m/s
Velocity of proton = 1681 m/s
Electron space = 0.0476 m
Proton space = 0.0662 m
e = Charge of particle = [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]
Number of electrons passing per second
[tex]n_e=\dfrac{6020}{0.0476}\\\Rightarrow n_e=126470.588[/tex]
Number of protons passing per second
[tex]n_p=\dfrac{1681}{0.0662}\\\Rightarrow n_p=25392.749[/tex]
Current due to electrons
[tex]I_e=n_ee\\\Rightarrow I_e=126470.588\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\Rightarrow I_e=2.0235\times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]
Current due to protons
[tex]I_p=n_pe\\\Rightarrow I_p=25392.749\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\Rightarrow I_p=4.06283984\times 10^{-15}\ A[/tex]
Total current
[tex]I=2.0235\times 10^{-14}+4.06283984\times 10^{-15}\\\Rightarrow I=2.429783984\times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]
The average current is [tex]2.429783984\times 10^{-14}\ A[/tex]
