Photons with energy $5\, eV$ are incident on a cathode $C$ of a photoelectric cell. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $2\, eV$. When photons of energy $6\, eV$ are incident on $C$,no photoelectrons will reach the anode $A$ if the stopping potential of $A$ relative to $C$ is .............. $V$.
