Collector plate, photoelectric effect
How does collector plate affect stopping potential? What condition does the solution (2nd image) state?

to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Pretty sure it's supposed to be eVs, not hVs
Basically, the light shining on the emitter should release electrons with enough energy to surpass the potential difference, but any electrons that get released from the collector should be stopped by the potential difference immediately.
But light doesn't illuminate collector in the setup?
Eh, i assume it can, because that's the only reason the collector becomes important.
I see.
Is the figure misleading in this case? (Image 1)
Yup
