A photocell connected in an electrical circuit is placed at a distance 'd' from a source of light . As a result , current I flows in the circuit . What will be the current in the circuit when the distance is reduced to ' `d/2` ?

A

I

B

2I

C

4I

D

I/2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
