Briefly explain how emf is generated in a solar cell. Draw its I-V characteristics. 3
Solution:
Process of emf generation in a solar cell:
(i) Light falls on the junction. Electron-hole pairs are generated.
(ii) The electron and hole move in opposite direction due to junction field. Electrons move towardsn p
(iii) The two sides of the junction become oppositely charged and a photo voltage is generated.
