A typical photovoltaic cell delivers 4.2×10−3 W of electric energy when illuminated with 0.15 W of light energy.What is the efficiency of the cell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.8 %

Explanation:

Power deliver by the cell = 4.2 x 10^-3 W

Power given to the cell = 0.15 W

The efficiency of the cell is defined as the ratio of power deliver by the cell to the power given to the cell.

So, the efficiency of the cell

                       = power deliver by the cell / power given to the cell

                       = [tex]\frac{4.2\times10^{-3}}{0.15}[/tex]

                       = 0.028

in percentage form = 0.028 x 100 % = 2.8 %

Thus, the efficiency of the photo voltaic cell is 2.8 %.
