The maximum photoelectric current at high positive voltage is the:
- Saturation current
- Alternating current
- Displacement current
- Photoelectric wave
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Saturation current
1. Raising the collector voltage gathers more electrons.
2. Eventually every emitted electron is collected.
3. The current then levels off at the saturation current.
4. So the answer is saturation current.
