Two metallic plates A and B, each of area 5 × × 10 –4 m 2 are placed parallel to each other at a separation of 1 cm. Plate B carries a positive charge of 33.7 pc. A monochromatic beam of light, with photons of energy 5 eV each, starts falling on plate A at t = 0, so that 10 16 photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every 10 6 incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate B and the work function of plate A remains constant at the value 2 eV. Electric field between the plates at the end of 10 seconds is
