AIIMS 2000 Physics Electric Current MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In a Neon discharge tube 2.9 × 10¹⁸ Ne⁺ ions move to the right each second, while 1.2 × 10¹⁸ electrons move to the left per second, electron charge is 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C. The current in the discharge tube is

A

1 Å towards right

B

0.66 Å towards right

C

0.66 Å towards left

D

zero

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The current is calculated by considering the net charge flow per second. The total charge flow is the sum of charges due to ions and electrons, resulting in a current of 0.66 Å towards the right.
