A silver sphere of radius 1 cm and work function 4.7 eV is suspended from an insulating thread in free- space. It is under continuous illumination of 200 nm wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted, the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is A × 10 z (where 1 < A < 10). The value of ‘Z’ is ?

When the potential of sphere becomes equal to the potential of emitting electron , the electron stops emitting from source.
Therefore ,, . KQ/ R is the potential of sphere.
Q=ne
Kne/R = 1.5
n= 1.5*10^19/ 9*10^9 *16*10^2
n= 1.04 * 10^ 7
