From Maxwell’s hypothesis, a charging electric field gives rise to:
Photoelectric effect supports quantum nature of light because:
  1. There is a minimum frequency below which no photoelectrons are emitted.
  2. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of light and not on its intensity.
  3. Even when the metal surface is faintly illuminated the photoelectrons leave the surface immediately.
  4. Electric charge of the photoelectrons is quantized.

Following operations can be performed on a capacitor:
X - connect the capacitor to a battery of emf $\in.$
Y - disconnect the battery.
Z - reconnect the battery with polarity reversed.
W - insert a dielectric slab in the capacitor.
  1. In XYZ (perform X, then Y, then Z) the stored electric energy remains unchanged and no thermal energy is developed.
  2. The charge appearing on the capacitor is greater after the action XWY than after the action XYW.
  3. The electric energy stored in the capacitor is greater after the action WXY than after the action XYW.
  4. The electric field in the capacitor after the action XW is the same as that after WX.
