Question

The I V characteristics of solar cell is drawn in the fourth quadrant of the coordinate axes because

• A. a solar cell does not draw current but supplies the same to the load.
• B. a solar cell draws current but supplies no current to the load.
• C. a solar cell draws voltage and supplies current to the load
• D. a solar cell draws current but supplies voltage to the load

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The correct option is A a solar cell does not draw current but supplies the same to the load.
The $V-I$ curve for solar cell is available in the fourth quadrant, i.e. where current is negative, which means that current I is supplied by the solar cell and not drawn by it.
