Question
Find the currents through the three reaiators shown in figure.
✓
Answer
- Current through (1) $4\Omega$ resistor = 0
- Current through (2) and (3)
net E = 4V - 2V = 2V
(2) and (3) are in series,
$\text{R}_\text{eff}=4+6=10\Omega$
$\text{i}=\frac{2}{10}=0.2\text{A}$
Current through (2) and (3) are 0.2A.

A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission, since it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used:
$\lambda_1=3650\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_2=4047\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_3=4358\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_4=5461\ \mathring{\text{A}},\ \lambda_5=6907\ \mathring{\text{A}},$
The stopping voltages, respectively, were measured to be:
V01 = 1.28 V, V02 = 0.95 V, V03 = 0.74 V, V04 = 0.16 V, V05 = 0 V
Determine the value of Planck’s constant h, the threshold frequency and work function for the material.
[Note: You will notice that to get h from the data, you will need to know e (which you can take to be 1.6 × 10–19 C). Experiments of this kind on Na, Li, K, etc. were performed by Millikan, who, using his own value of e (from the oil-drop experiment) confirmed Einstein’s photoelectric equation and at the same time gave an independent estimate of the value of h.]
