Question
Suppose that a particle accelerator is used to move two beams of particles in opposite directions. In a particular region, electrons move to the right at 7130 m/sand protons move to the left at 2583 m/s. The particles are evenly spaced with 0.0288 m between electrons and 0.0747 m between protons. Assuming that there are no collisions and that the interactions between the particles are negligible, what is the magnitude of the average current in this region?

Answer:
Total current,
Explanation:
Velocity of electrons is 7130 m/s and particles are evenly spaced with 0.0288 m between electrons. We can find no of electrons passing per second as follows :
Velocity of protons is 2583 m/s and particles are evenly spaced with 0.0747 m between electrons. We can find no of protons passing per second as follows :
Total current in this region is equal to sum of current due to electrons and current due to protons.
Hence, this is the required solution.
