To find the current flowing in the hydrogen discharge tube, we need to consider the contributions from both the protons and the electrons drifting across a cross-section per second. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the number of protons and electrons:** - Number of protons drifting per second, \( n_p = 1.0 \times 10^{18} \) - Number of electrons drifting per second, \( n_e = 2.7 \times 10^{18} \) ...
