In a photoelectric effect , the K.E. of electrons emitted from the metal surface depends upon

Consider the following quantities: number density of free electrons, n, mean free time of electrons between collisions,t , drift velocity of electrons, v_d , resistivity, p. A constant potential difference is applied across a conductor. Assuming that the temperature of the conductor remains constant, which of these quantities is/are independent of the magnitude of the potential difference applied?

A metallic block has no potential difference applid across it, then the mean velocity of free electrons is (T= absolute temperature of the block)

Assertion : Free electrons inside a metal are free to move out of the metal. Reason : Free electrons inside conductor do not need additional energy to get out of the metal.
