Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer: A. In the given I-V characteristics of a solar cell, point P on the voltage axis represents the short-circuit current ( I_ sc ) and point Q on the current axis represents the open-circuit voltage ( V_ oc ). B. Unlike photodiodes, solar cells are operated without any external bias.

Options

  1. AStatement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct
  2. BBoth Statement A and Statement B are correct
  3. CStatement A is correct but Statement B is incorrect
  4. DBoth Statement A and Statement B are incorrect

Correct answer

A. Statement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct

Step-by-step solution

In the given I-V characteristics of a solar cell: Point P lies on the voltage axis, which means the current I = 0 . This corresponds to the open-circuit voltage ( V_ oc ). Point Q lies on the current axis, which means the voltage V = 0 . This corresponds to the short-circuit current ( I_ sc ). Therefore, Statement A incorrectly swaps the definitions of points P and Q , making it incorrect. A solar cell is designed to deliver power to an external load and generates its own electromotive force when illuminated. It do
