A photocell connected in an electrical circuit is placed at a distance ‘d’ from a source of light. As a result, current I flows in the circuit. What will be the current in the circuit when the distance is reduced to ?
Option: 1 I
Option: 2 2I
Option: 3 4I
Option: 4
The number of electrons emitted per second is proportional to 1/d2. Therefore when d becomes d/2, I become 4I
