MCQ
The curve between current $(i)$ and potential difference $(V)$ for a photo cell will be
  • A

  • B

  • C


Answer

Correct option: D.

d
(d) In photocell, at a particular negative potential (stopping potential $V_0$) of anode, photoelectric current is zero,

At the potential difference between cathode and anode increases current through the circuit increases but after some time constant current (saturation current) flows through the circuit even if potential difference still increasing.

Two identical moving coil galvanometer have $10 \Omega$ resistance and full scale deflection at $2 \mu A$ current. One of them is converted into a voltmeter of $100 mV$ full scale reading and the other into an Ammeter of $1 mA$ full scale current using appropriate resistors. These are then used to measure the voltage and current in the Ohm's law experiment with $R =1000 \Omega$ resistor by using an ideal cell. Which of the following statement( $s$ ) is/are correct?

$(1)$ The measured value of $R$ will be $978 \Omega$

$(2)$ The resistance of the Voltmeter will be $100 k \Omega$.

$(3)$ The resistance of the Ammeter will be $0.02 \Omega$ (round off to $2^{\text {nd }}$ decimal place)

$(4)$ If the ideal cell is replaced by a cell having internal resistance of $5 \Omega$ then the measured value of $R$ will be more than $1000 \Omega$.
