Direct conversion of solar energy with the use of a photo voltaic cell results in the production of
-
- Optical energy
- Electrical energy
- Thermal energy
- Mechanial energy
- Optical energy
Correct Option: B
A solar cell (also called a photovoltaic cell) is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. It is a form of photoelectric cell (in that its electrical characteristics—e.g. current, voltage, or resistance— vary when light is incident upon it) which, when exposed to light, can generate and support an electric current without being attached to any external voltage source.
