In an electrolyte, the posirive ions move from left to right and negative iond move from right to left. Is there a net current? if yes in what direction?

YES THERE IS A NET CURRENT IT IS IN THE DIRECTION OF POSIIVE IONS ,FROM LEFT TO RIGHT

Dear nikhil,

When a substance dissociates to a fair extent in water, it will produce enough ions to support an electric current. We can use this property to differentiate between substances that are molecular and substances that are ionic in solution. An electrolyte is a substance, which dissociates sufficiently in solution to carry an electric current. It is therefore ionic in nature.

All the best.
