1.	In a hydrogen discharge tube, the number of protons drifitin across a cross section per second is `1.0xx10^(18)`, while the number of electrons drifting in the opposite direction across the same cross section is `2.7xx 10^(18)` per second. Find the curernt flowing in the tube.
Answer» As electrons and protons are moving in the opposite directions, they will effectively produce current in the same direcition and the total current in the tube is `I = (n_p + n_e)e//t` `=(1.0xx10^(18) +2.7xx10^(18)) xx1.6xx10^(-19)//1` `=3.7xx1.6xx10^(-1)A = 0.592 A`

The massses of the three wires of copper are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 5. And their lengths are in th ratio 5 : 3 : 1. the ratio of their electrical resistance isA. `1:03:05`B. `5:03:01`C. `1 : 15 : 125`D. `125 : 15 : 1`
In the circuit shown in figure find: a. the current in the `3.00 Omega` resistor,b. the unknown emfs`E_1` and `E_2` and c the resistance `R`.
A single battery is connected to three resistances as shown in fig. 5.316 A. The current through `7Omega` resistance is 4AB. The current through`3 Omega`resistance is 4A.C. The current through `6 Omega` resistance is 4A.D. The current through `7Omega` resistance is 0.
For the batteries shown in fig. `R_1, R_2 and R_3` are the internal resistance of `E_1, E_2, and E_3,` respectively Then, which of the following is / are correct? A. The equivalent internal resistance R of the system is given by `(R_1R_2R_3)//(R_1R_2 +R_2R_3+R_3R_1).`B. If `E_3 = (E_1R_2 +E_2R_1)//(R_1+R_2),` the equivalent emf of the batteries will be equal to `E_3`C. The equivalent emf to the battery is equal to `E = (E_1 +E_2 +E_3)//3`D. The equivalent emf of the battery not only depends upon values of `E_1,E_2, and E_3` but also depends upon values of `R_1, R_2 and R_3.`
