Principle

A capacitor is a passive electric component with the ability to store electrical charge and so the corresponding energy.

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
Doubled learning success: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components can be seen at the bottom

Tasks

How can solar energy be stored without using a rechargeable battery?

Try to store the energy produced by a solar battery in a capacitor.
