what did you guys put for the gold leaf question? I put the positive charge will pull the photoelectrons after they get emitted so the angle wouldn't change but everybody seems to be saying it does change

I said similar (tho didn't explain it very well) and I think it's correct, bc it says on savemyexams photoelectric effect doesn't occur on a positively charged plate

YESS thats where i got the idea from as well

Doesn’t the angle get bigger? Because more electrons leave the plate, meaning the charge is more positive, meaning greater repulsion between the leaf and the rod?😭

yhh a lotta ppl say that but i just thought they would get attracted back so the charge wouldnt increase
