Philip Harris Solar Cell - Mounted
A1008277
Product code: A1008277
Product Description
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
- Fitted with 4mm plug connectors for easy connection into a circuit for voltage measurement.
- 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
