A photocell is operated under an external bias which is reverse bias. A solar cell works on the same principle of photo voltaic effect as the photo cell except that no external bias is applied and the junction area is kept much larger for solar radiation to be incident. a solar cell does not draw current but supplies the same to the load

∙ 11y agoA photocell is a resistor. It is often used as a switch triggered by a change in the light striking it.
A solar cell Is an electric device that converts the energy of sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic (PV) process.

What does photocell mean?
light of a cell
What is one difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?
Solar cells do not convert kinetic energy to electricity
What is one difference between using solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?
Solar cells do not convert kinetic energy to electricity
What changes chemical or radiant energy into electrical energy?
I might be wrong on this one, but I believe it is either a cell or a photocell. A cell would be correct, a photocell converts light energy into electrical energy.
What one difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using mirrors or lenses to create electricity?
One difference is that the solar cell has no moving parts, while the mirror method (concentrated solar) has moving parts in its turbines.Photoelectric Voltaic Cell (PV)When the sun shines on a solar cell it knocks electrons loose from the atoms in the silicon cell. These electrons are captured in the form of an electric current, that is, electricity.Concentrated Solar CollectionMirrors and lenses focus the sun's heat onto a container of water, or salt. This extremely hot material is then used to spin electricity generators to produce electricity.
What the difference between the solar cell and detector?
The main difference between the solar cell and detector is that the cell stores the energy, while the detector directs the energy towards the cell.

WHEN it works - solar by day, wind when its blowing.

What is the basic difference between solar cells and fuel cells?
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device whiles a solar cell is a device that converts photons from the sun into electricity.

Your outside solar light works inside in a dark room but not outside?
it may be activated by a light sensitve photocell. if the cell detects light, it doesn't come on, that way it conserves the solar energy until it's dark, and you need the light to activate.
