Question
What is cut-off or stopping potential?
Solution
If increasingly negative potentials were applied to the collector in the experiment of the photoelectric effect, the photocurrent decreases and for some typical value (– V0), photocurrent becomes zero. This value of V0 is termed as cut-off or stopping potential.
