Question

Is solar cell forward biased?

Answer 1

Solar cell:

Any device that directly transforms light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect is referred to as a solar cell, sometimes known as a photovoltaic cell.

Draw the required diagram,

1. Solar cells work in the same way as a PN junction diode would.
2. The photocurrent in a solar cell flows in the reverse bias direction when it is exposed to the sun.

Hence, the solar cell will behave as a forward-biased diode when it is dark.
