What else can I help you with?
Why can't we use dry cells or automobile batteries instead of solar batteries for satellites?
Dry cells and automobile batteries require a medium in order to transmit and receive the signals from outer space.
Why do you think Only solar cell and not dry cells or automobile batteries are used in satellites?
the others require a medium in order to transmit and recieve the signals from outer space
How are solar cells and batteries similar in function?
Solar cells and batteries are similar in that they both produce electricity.
What powers most satellites and keeps the batteries charged?
Solar panels.
What type of cells is used in satellites to obtain energy from the sun?
Photovoltaic arrays are used( in conjunction with accumulators - batteries - to store energy when the satellite's solar panels are in shadow).
How are satellites energized?
By solar panels, these will charge batteries, so they can operate if the are in the shadow of the earth.
Why are only solar cells used as a power source in satellites?
Solar cells are used in satellites because they can convert sunlight directly into electricity, which is a reliable and renewable source of energy in space. Other power sources like batteries or nuclear reactors have limitations in terms of weight, size, and longevity compared to solar cells, making them less practical for long-term operations in orbit.
Why are solar cells needed on the calculator?
They aren't needed, most calculators use batteries not solar cells.
How are solar cells and batteries similar functions?
Solar cells and batteries are similar in that they both produce electricity.
What type of batteries are used for solar power?
Solar Cells are used to power Solar Panels.
How do satellites get their energy?
Satellites typically use solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. This electricity is used to power the satellite's systems and keep it running while in space. Some satellites may also have batteries for storing energy to use when not exposed to sunlight.
With regular batteries will solar light still charge?
Regular batteries will power a solar light until they run out of power. But regular batteries can't be charged from the solar cells unless rechargeable batteries are used instead. There is also a bit of circuitry involved.
