Photoelectric Effect: Kinetic Energy

The kinetic energy of photoelectrons released in the photoelectric effect is independent of the intensity of incident light. It is solely determined by the frequency of the incident light.

Photoelectric Effect: Current Dependence

Photoelectric current, the flow of electrons emitted from a material due to the photoelectric effect, is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light. More intense light means more photons, resulting in more electrons being ejected.

Mutual Inductance: Maximum

The mutual inductance between two coils is maximized when they are wound over each other, as this configuration maximizes the magnetic flux linkage between the coils, leading to a stronger inductive effect.

Parallel Wires: Current and Force

Two parallel wires carrying current in the same direction will attract each other. Conversely, two wires carrying current in opposite directions will repel each other. This is because the magnetic fields created by the wires interact with each other.
