In a given fluid, positive ions, each with two excess protons, move towards right at a steady rate of 4.8 x 1019 ions per minute and negative ions, each with a single excess electron, move towards left at a steady rate of 2.1 x 1020 ions per minute. Determine the current directed to the right.
A certain brand of hotdog cooker works by applying a potential difference of 141 V across opposite ends of a hot dog and allowing it to cook by means of the thermal energy produced. The current is 11.9 A, and the energy required to cook one hot dog is 60.3 kJ. If the rate at which energy is supplied is unchanged, how long will it take to cook three hot dogs simultaneously?

Wires A and B are identical (same length and radius) except that each is made from a different material. The resistivity of wire A is larger than the resistivity of B. One end of wire A is connected to one end of wire B. The two remaining free ends are connected across a battery (so the wires and battery form one continuous loop) and current flows through the two wires. Is the potential difference across the two wires is the same, or is it different? If different, which potential is larger? How about the current through each wire? Are they the same or different, and if different, which current is larger? Please explain your answers.
