Step 1
1 of 2a)
Equation (29-7) gives us the correlation of current density and charge propagation speed for electrons. We have here positive ions as moving particles, so we have to change the sign of the charge and because one ion caries two elementary charges we have to multiply it by to. After that modification we have:
