A p-type semiconductor with zero electric field is under illumination (low level injection) in steady state condition. Excess minority carrier density is zero at x = $$\pm$$ 2ln, where ln = 10$$-$$4 cm is the diffusion length of electrons. Assume electronic charge, q = $$-$$1.6 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$19 C. The profiles of photo-generation rate of carriers and the recombination rate of excess minority carriers (R) are shown. Under these conditions, the magnitude of the current density due to the photo-generated electrons at x = +2ln is ___________ mA/cm2 (rounded off to two decimal places).
