Influence of illumination level on voltage and current of asolar cell

Product No: P9511100

Principle

The solar cell plays an important role in the development of alternative, non fossil fuels energy sources. It converts light energy directly into electric energy.
The pupils examine whether the distance of the light source affects the generated voltage and current intensity of a solar cell. The essential result of this experiment is that the voltage remains relatively constant, whereas the current intensity strongly decreases when the distance of the light source increases.

In this experiment the lighting changes in accordance to the distance of the solar cell to the light source. The current intensity and voltage of the solar cell will also be measured.

Task

How does the solar cell behave when the light of the sun decreases?
