A current is established in a gas discharge tube where a sufficiently high potential difference is applied across the two electrodes in the tube. The gas ionises , electrons move toward positive terminal and positive ions toward the negative. What are the magnitude and sense of the current in a hydrogen discharge tube in which 3.1 xx 10^18 electrons and 1.1 xx 10^18 protons move past a X-sectional area of the tube each second ?
