    I What gives an optimum value for electron energy to ionise atom?

    There is an optimum energy which gives the greatest probability of ionisation of a particular element. This is said to align with the wavelength of the electron being close to resonances in the atom. Looking at this in a different way as particles, would it be correct to say that the optimum...

    Why is the value of EMF generated by a generator not zero at t = 0 s?

    Does this mean that initially there will be emf induced on the coil at t = 0 s? Initially, at t = 0 s, the coil has not been rotated yet so based on Faraday's Law, there won't be any change in magnetic flux so why the value of emf is not zero at t = 0 s? Thanks
