Question:
applying positive potential to collector plate means what
Answer:
Positive potential means higher potential.In the photoelectric effect When we increase the positive potential on collector while keeping the intensity and frequency of incident radiation fixed, the photoelectric current increases with the increase in accelerating potential till a stage is reached when the photoelectric current becomes maximum and does not increase further with increase in the accelerating potential.This maximum current is called saturation current.
