Suppose that a particle accelerator is used to move two beams of particles in opposite directions. In a particular region, electrons move to the right at 4910 m/s and protons move to the left at 2583 m/s. The particles are evenly spaced with 0.0758 m between electrons and 0.0577 m between protons. Assuming that there are no collisions and that the interactions between the particles are negligible, what is the magnitude of the average current in this region
