Answer 1

Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Salt water contains n sodium ions (Na+) per cubic meter and n chloride ions (Cl−) per cubic meter. A battery is connected to metal rods that dip into a narrow pipe full of salt water. The cross sectional area of the pipe is A. The magnitude of the drift velocity of the sodium ions is VNa​ and the magnitude of the drift velocity of the chloride ions is VCl​.

What is the magnitude of the ammeter reading ?

answer :

| I | = neAVₙₐ  + neAV (Cl-)

Explanation:

Given that there are N sodium ions

Determine the Magnitude of the ammeter reading

| I | = current due to sodium ions + current due to (Cl-) ions

     = neAVₙₐ  + neAV (Cl-)
