yes, along with many other factors. Solar cells use the ultraviolet band of energy from a light source above the other bands. This is why incandescent lights do not provide as much power as a florescent lamp or why solar panels use quartz instead of glass covers.

What two factors determine the output energy of a battery?

The energy delivered by a battery would depend on-- the battery's voltage-- the resistance of the load connected across its output terminals-- the length of the time the load is connectedThe power delivered by the battery is [ (voltage)2 divided by (load resistance) ].The total energy delivered by the battery is [ (power) multiplied by (time the load is connected) ].


What is the input and output of a load cell?

The input of a load cell is the force or weight applied to it. The output of a load cell is an electrical signal, typically in the form of voltage or current, that is proportional to the applied force or weight.


Why line is drawn at 0.707 AV or 3dB to find bandwidth?

The bandwidth of a circuit, amplifier etc has been chosen to be defined by the points when the power output falls to half its maximum. Log 0.5 is -0.3 which in the decibel notation is -3dB (-0.3 Bels= -3 decibels). When the output power is at 0.5 maximum, then since the power varies as the square of the voltage, the output voltage is 0.707 of the maximum output voltage.


Is transformation a change?

A: It is a transformer that has one or more leads wire output so switch can be used to change the output voltage from a reference wire.


What is the difference between independent and dependent source?

Independent SourcesIndependent sources produce current/voltage at a particular rate that is dependent only on time. These sources may output a constant current/voltage, or they may output current/voltage that varies with time.Dependent SourcesDependent sources are current or voltage sources whose output value is based on time or another value from the circuit. A dependent source may be based on the voltage over a resistor for example, or even the current flowing through a given wire. The following sources are possible:Current-controlled current sourceCurrent-controlled voltage sourceVoltage-controlled current sourceVoltage-controlled voltage sourceDependent sources are useful for modelling transistors or vacuum tubes.

What is the effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage?

The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode . The output voltage will then be given by: vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).


How the power output of solar panels fitted to a house can change?

The output of solar panels depends on the surface area that is exposed to light. For a given light intensity, the larger the area, the greater the power output.


How the power output of solarpanels fitted to a house can change?

Well the output of solar panels depends on the surface area that is exposed to light. For a given light intensity, the larger the area, the greater the power output.


Is it the value of input voltage equal the value of output voltage?

No. There are several factors that may affect the output voltage. For instance: Resistors, Transformer, Voltage regulators and others that can control the output voltage to a certain level.

What determines the output voltage and the current of a transformer?

The ratio of output windings to input windings determines the ratio of output voltage to input voltage. The ratio of current is the inverse.


How do rectifier circuits stabilize the output voltage when the input voltage is subject to fluctuations?

Rectifiers don't "stabilize the output voltage" of rectifier circuits when input voltage fluctuates. The rectifiers just rectify the input, and the output will fluctuate as the input does. Another form of "conditioning" of the rectified output is needed to address the issue of fluctuations. And we use the term regulation to talk about the effect of "stabilizing" an output voltage. Through regulation, the output will be resistant to changes in voltage when changes in the input voltage occur.


How does a voltage regulator regulate the voltage output of an ac generator?

Generator output is controlled by voltage feedback to the voltage regulator which senses voltage drop or rise and regulates the current being sent to the armature. This rise and fall of the armature current governs the generators output voltage.
