Philip Harris Solar Cell - Mounted

E8H25705

Product code: E8H25705

Use the Mounted Solar Cell to demonstrate the production of electrical energy directly from light energy. The apparatus comprises a selenium photo-voltaic cell housed in a plastic case with a diffusing lens front (25mm x 25mm).  Connection is made using 4mm plug leads.

  • Overall Dimensions: 100mm x 45mm x 65mm
  • Solar Cell Dimensions: 25mm x 25mm
  • Fitted with 4mm plug connectors for easy connection into a circuit for voltage measurement.
  • Investigate how the output voltage varies with the area of cell exposed to the light
  • Use filters to investigate how the output voltage varies with colour/wavelength of light
  • Use a light meter and investigate how the output voltage varies with light intensity
  • Determine the optimum electrical load for maximum power transfer for a known light intensity
  • Determine how the maximum power varies with the light intensity when the electrical load is fixed
