Conversion of light into motion with a solar cell

Product No: P9510100

Principle

Solar cells play an important role in the use of alternative energy sources, since they convert the sun's solar radiation directly into electrical energy. The electrical energy generated is demonstrated very clearly in this experiment by the use of a small motor. A filament lamp suffices as a light source.

Task

Can light drive a motor?

Shine a light onto a solar cell and observe the motor connected to it.
