What happens to the photoelectric current if the voltage across the electrodes is increased?

Step 1: Understand that the photoelectric effect involves light hitting a material and causing it to emit electrons.
Step 2: Know that these emitted electrons can create a current when they move towards an electrode.
Step 3: Recognize that voltage is like a push that helps move the electrons towards the electrode.
Step 4: When you increase the voltage, you provide a stronger push for the electrons.
Step 5: This stronger push means more electrons can reach the electrode, which increases the current.
Step 6: Therefore, increasing the voltage results in a higher photoelectric current.
