Product Code : SCL-PLE-12972
Use the Mounted Solar Cell to demonstrate the
production of electrical energy directly from light energy. The apparatus
comprises a selenium photo-voltaic cell housed in a plastic case with a
diffusing lens front (25mm x 25mm). Connection is made using 4mm plug
leads.
- Overall Dimensions: 100mm x 45mm x 65mm
- Solar Cell Dimensions: 25mm x 25mm
Reasons to Love
- Fitted with 4mm plug connectors for easy
connection into a circuit for voltage measurement.
Learning Outcomes
- Investigate how the output voltage varies with
the area of cell exposed to the light
- Use filters to investigate how the output
voltage varies with colour/wavelength of light
- Use a light meter and investigate how the
output voltage varies with light intensity
- Determine the optimum electrical load for
maximum power transfer for a known light intensity
- Determine how the maximum power varies with
the light intensity when the electrical load is fixed
