Question:
An electrolyte contains equal numbers of positive and negative ions in solution. When an electric field is applied, the positive ions move in the direction of the field and the negative ions move opposite the field. If the negative ions move faster than the positive ions, is the net current in the direction of the field, is it opposite the field, or do the two ion currents cancel to give no net current? Explain.
