Two identical capacitors are arranged as shown. The work function of plate $1$ is $\phi \ eV$. The $emf$ of the battery is $\frac{\phi}{e}$. If the energy of the incident photon is $hv$,then what is the maximum kinetic energy of the $e^-$ reaching plate $2$?

  • A
    $hv - \phi/2$
  • B
    $hv - \phi$
  • C
    $hv - 2\phi$
  • D
