One of the plates of a flat capacitor with a distance between the plates of 10 mm is illuminated by X-rays, which eject photoelectrons from it at a speed v = 106 m/sec. The electrons are collected on the second plate. After what time will the photocurrent between the plates stop if n = 1013 electrons are emitted from each square centimeter of area in 1 second?
