Is solar energy environmentally safe?
Solar energy is mostly environmentally safe. It doesn't pollute the air and water unlike fossil fuels, biofuel, and waste-to-energy methods of electricity production. However, the cadmium contained in photo-voltaic cells is a heavy metal and a hazardous waste product which is potentially dangerous if photo-voltaic cells are not properly disposed.
Is photo voltaic cell is an active transducer?
A photovoltaic cell is an active transducer. This is commonly referred to as a strain gauge or simply known as a solar panel.
What is device used to convert temperature in to voltage?
temperature sensorAnswerA thermo-voltaic junction, or thermo-voltaic pile, is used for this purpose. A thermo-voltaic junction consists of two dissimilar metals connected together; as the temperature increases, an increasing potential difference arises between the two metals. A thermo-voltaic 'pile' is a number of thermo-voltaic 'junctions' connected in series.
Which electrode of a voltaic cell the cathode or the anode corresponds to the higher potential energy for the electrons?
Cathode
What is the difference between photo electric effect and compton effect?
The photo-electric effect causes a current to pass between two plates that already have a voltaic potential difference.the photovoltaic effect causes a voltage to grow between two plates that don't already have one (or changes the applied voltage to something else). There is no current.In photo electric effect,When light(photon) Strikes on the one plate,electron in outershell of atom is ejected by absorbing the light.And electron can move from its plate to other plate if energy of photon is satisfy the break force of surface into electron and potential energy of two plates.So current is generated.In photo voltaic effect,When light(photon) Strikes on the one plate, electron in outershell of atom is go up to new energy level by absorbing the light. So no charge carriers move.Therefore no current.
Is hydro power related to photo voltaic cells?
No, hydro power is electricity from water. Photo voltaic is electricity from sunlight.
What is a Sentence using the word photo-voltaic?
Photo-voltaic technology converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels.
Can transformers be used in photo voltaic inverters?
Yes.
What renewable energy source has PV cells?
PV probably stads for 'photo-voltaic'. If that is the case then the answer is solar power as photo-voltaic cells are a crucial component of solar panels.
What cell captures solar energy?
photo voltaic cells
How can you create a wind turbine and photo voltaic cell hybrid model to generate 2 watt power?
To create a wind turbine and photo voltaic cell hybrid model to generate 2 watt power you must set up a photo-voltaic solar-cell array and a mast mounted wind generator.
Which object coverts light to eletricity?
photo-electic or photo-voltaic cell also known as a solar panel
What percentage of the received light is turned into energy in a photo voltaic call?
20%
What is an example of active transducer?
Thermocouple is one example. Photo voltaic cell
Which device converts light energy into electrical energy?
A photo-voltaic solar cell
Can the sun be used to produce electrical energy?
Yes, using photo-voltaic panels
Photo voltaic effect means?
A photovoltaic effect means that when light hits it energy is created.
