Time t = 1 s
Number of Na + ions arrive at the negative electrode N = 2.68 x
10 16
Charge of N ions q = N x 1.6 x 10 -19 C
                            Â
= 4.288 x 10 -3 C
Number of Cl - ions arrive at the positive electrode N ' = 3.92
x 10 16
Charge of N' ions q ' = N ' x (-1.6 x 10 -19 C )
                               Â
= -6.272x10 -3 C
Current in ionic solution i = ( q/t ) +(q'/t)
