Effect of increase in frequency on photoelectric current :
Increase in frequency has no effect on photoelectric current. Increase in frequency only increases the kinetic energy of photoelectron.

Effect of increase in intensity of light on photoelectric current :
Photoelectric current is directly proportional to the intensity of light. It means photoelectric current increases with increase in intensity of light.
