Question

The given graph represents V - I characteristic for a semiconductor device. Which of the following statement is correct?

• A. It is V - I characteristic for solar cell where point A represents open circuit voltage and point B represents short circuit current
• B. It is for a solar cell and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and current, respectively
• C. It is for a photodiode and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and current, respectively
• D. It is for a LED and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and short circuit current respectively

Answer 1

The correct option is A It is V - I characteristic for solar cell where point A represents open circuit voltage and point B represents short circuit current

Solar cell $\to$ Open circuit I = 0, potential V = emf
$\to$ Short circuit I = I, potential V = 0
