In photoelectric effect, the stopping potential \( V_0 \) vs frequency \( \nu \) curve is plotted. \( h \) is the Planck's constant and \( \phi_0 \) is the work function of metal.
(A) \( V_0 \) vs \( \nu \) is linear.
(B) The slope of \( V_0 \) vs \( \nu \) curve is \( \frac{\phi_0}{h} \).
(C) \( h \) constant is related to the slope of \( V_0 \) vs \( \nu \) line.
(D) The value of electric charge of electron is not required to determine \( h \) using the \( V_0 \) vs \( \nu \) curve.
(E) The work function can be estimated without knowing the value of \( h \). \text{Choose the correct answer from the options given below:}- JEE Main - 2025

N equally spaced charges each of value \( q \) are placed on a circle of radius \( R \). The circle rotates about its axis with an angular velocity \( \omega \) as shown in the figure. A bigger Amperian loop \( B \) encloses the whole circle, whereas a smaller Amperian loop \( A \) encloses a small segment. The difference between enclosed currents, \( I_B - I_A \) for the given Amperian loops is:
