In a discharge tube, the number of protons drifting across any cross-section is 1-0 x 1018 per second while the number of electrons drifting in the opposite direction across another cross section is 2-0 x 1018 per second. If the voltage across the tube is 240 V, what is the effective resistance of the tube ?
