Description

In the experiment P6.1.4.3, the capacitor method is used to generate the opposing voltage U between the cathode and the anode of the photocell. A capacitor is connected between the cathode and the anode of the photocell which is charged by the anode current, thus generating the opposing voltage U. As soon as the opposing voltage reaches the value –U₀, the anode current is zero and the charging of the capacitor is finished. U₀ is measured without applying a current by means of an electrometer amplifier.
Note: The opposing voltage U can alternatively be tapped from a DC voltage source. The I-measuring amplifier D is recommended for sensitive measurements of the anode current (see P6.1.4.4).
