QUESTION 9/VRAAG 9

9.1.1    The potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the
         current in the conductor at constant temperature.
         Die potensiaalverskil oor 'n geleier is direk eweredig aan die stroom in die
         geleier by konstate temperatuur.

         OR/OF
         The ratio of potential difference across a conductor to the current in the
         conductor is constant, provided the temperature remains constant.
         Die verhouding van potensiaalverskil oor die geleier tot stroom in die geleier is
         konstant indien die temperatuur konstant bly.                                                    (2)

           According to Photoelectric equation, hf = W o + ½ mv2

           Volgens die fotoelektriese vergelyking hf = W o + ½ mv2:
           (Vir 'n gegewe konstante frekwensie) as die werksfunksie verhoog, verlaag
           die kinetiese energie. Silwer het die kleinste kinetiese energie en dus die
