When a certain circuit consisting of a constant e.m.f. E an inductance L and a resistance R is closed, the current in, it increases with time according to curve 1. After one parameter (E, L or R) is changed, the increase in current follows curve 2 when the circuit is closed second time. Which parameter was changed and in what direction
In a historical experiment to determine Planck's constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength $(\lambda)$ of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential $\left(V_0\right)$ are given below :
