Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. Solar cell
1
[CBSE Marking Scheme 2017]
Detailed Answer :
The V-I Characteristics curve shown is of Solar cell which is a junction diode, that converts light energy into electrical energy. Here photons with energy more than band gap energy gets incident on the junction creating the electron-hole pairs that moves in opposite directions thus producing photovoltage.
