In a gas discharge tube if 
electrons are flowing per sec from left to right and 
protons are flowing per second from right to left through a given cross section. The magnitude and direction of current through the cross section
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
As current is rate of flow of charge in the direction in which positive charge will move, the current due to electron will be 
(Opposite to the motion of electrons, i.e. right to left)
Current due to protons 
0.32 A (Right to left) so total 
A (Right to left)
