Principle

In the experiment the surface of the solar cell is covered with black cardboard. The current intensity and the voltage of the solar cell are measured.

Benefits

  • Experiment is part of a complete solution set with a total of 26 experiments for Renewable Energy solar cells, wind power, water power
  • Safe experimentation: the lamp is protected against touch, the housing is well ventilated with the aid of holes and is only slightly heated
  • The power supply used is versatile and is particularly suitable for pupil tests for all ages

Tasks

How does the solar cell behave when its surface is reduced?
