The correct Answer is:
To find the total current in the given scenario, we will consider the contributions from the alpha particles, protons, and electrons separately. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges of the Particles:** - Alpha particles have a charge of \( +2e \) (where \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C). - Protons have a charge of \( +1e \). - Electrons have a charge of \( -1e \). 2. **Determine the Number of Each Type of Particle:** - Number of alpha particles = \( 10^{19} \) - Number of protons = \( 10^{19} \) - Number of electrons = \( 10^{19} \) 3. **Calculate the Current Due to Each Type of Particle:** - **Current due to alpha particles (\( I_1 \)):** \[ I_1 = \text{Number of alpha particles} \times \text{Charge of one alpha particle} = 10^{19} \times 2e = 10^{19} \times 2 \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = 3.2 \, \text{A} \] - **Current due to protons (\( I_2 \)):** \[ I_2 = \text{Number of protons} \times \text{Charge of one proton} = 10^{19} \times e = 10^{19} \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = 1.6 \, \text{A} \] - **Current due to electrons (\( I_3 \)):** \[ I_3 = \text{Number of electrons} \times \text{Charge of one electron} = 10^{19} \times (-e) = 10^{19} \times (-1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = -1.6 \, \text{A} \] 4. **Determine the Direction of Current:** - The current due to alpha particles and protons is towards the left (positive direction). - The current due to electrons is towards the right (negative direction). 5. **Calculate the Total Current:** \[ I_{\text{total}} = I_1 + I_2 + I_3 = 3.2 \, \text{A} + 1.6 \, \text{A} - 1.6 \, \text{A} = 3.2 \, \text{A} \] Since both alpha particles and protons contribute to the current towards the left, the total current is \( 3.2 \, \text{A} \) towards the left. ### Final Answer: The total current is \( 3.2 \, \text{A} \) towards the left.

To find the total current in the given scenario, we will consider the contributions from the alpha particles, protons, and electrons separately. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges of the Particles:** - Alpha particles have a charge of \( +2e \) (where \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C). - Protons have a charge of \( +1e \). - Electrons have a charge of \( -1e \). ...
