Question

In a certain material there is a current of 16A flowing through a surface to the right, and there is an equal amount of positive an negative charge passing through the surface producing the current. How much negative charge passes through the surface? In a certain material there is a current of 16A flowing through a surface to the right, and there is an equal amount of positive an negative charge passing through the surface producing the current. How much negative charge passes through the surface?

Explanation / Answer

8C/s towards left

Current flowing through surface =16A means 16C/s

As equal amount of positive and negative charge is passing so if current flowing in right direction 8C/s positive charge wil move in right direction and 8C/s in left direction

Direction in which positive charge flows is the direction of current and direction opposite to the flow of negative charge is direction of current

So total current in right direction = 8A+8A =16A
