In an experiment on photoelectric effect, the emitter and the collector plates are placed at a separation of 10cm and are connected through an ammeter without any cell.

A magnetic field B exists parallel to the plates. The work function of the emitter is 2.39 e V and the light incident on it has wavelengths between 400nm and 600nm. Find the minimum value of B for which the current registered by the ammeter is zero. Neglect any effect of space charge.
