Consider a hydrogen fuel cell with 15 cm2 active area. During the operation, the activation and the polarization resistance is measured to be 0.03 V and 0.01 V, respectively. On the other hand, the cell ohmic resistance is known to be R=0.055 . If the theoretical potential is 1.23 V and the actual cell voltage is Vcell=1 V, what is the operating current density?
