1.

Photoelectric current still continues when the anode is even at a slight negative potential with respect to the photo cathode. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Emitted photoelectrons possess some initial kinetic energy. Hence, a few electrons can reach the anode OVERCOMING the REPULSIVE force of the negative potential. If the value of the negative potential is not too high, photoelectric current CONTINUES to FLOW.
