Current sunlight is a name given to all of the sunlight that reached the Earth at a time in human history when we had not yet developed the means to extract energy from other sources. It represented the maximum amount of energy we could then use. For a human population under one-billion, it supplied crops - plants for our consumption and clothing and cellulose for our animals to eat. In turn, the animals provided food and clothing - a truly sustainable life-cycle.
Today, current sunlight is being examined as a viable alternative to exhaustion of our dwindling nonrenewable resources, shifting the paradigm for the carrying capacity of the planet.

What is phase current?
A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.
Why does collector current increase with base current?
the collector current is directly proportional to the base current
What is a constant current?
DC or Direct Current. The current is no alternating.
Why is the base current in a transistor so much less than the collector current?
as the base current is very small compared to the emitter current,the collector current is nearly equal to the emitter current..
What is leakage current in transformer?
In low voltage and electronics Leakage Current is any current that flows when the ideal current
Why are sunlight and oil opposite side of the renew ability continuum?
Sunlight is current - oil is ancient (and no longer available) sunlight.
Are photovoltaic cells semiconductors?
Yes, that is how they convert sunlight to electric current
What kind of cells are used to turn sunlight into electric current?
Photovoltaic cells.
What is the purpose of the solar cell?
To provide electrical current flow using only sunlight.
What is the kind of cell used to turn sunlight into electric current?
It is called a photovoltaic cell.
Solar cells are used to turn sunlight into?
It comes out as direct-current electric power.
What is to move or cause to move rapidly back and forth or up and down?
a current there is a deep ocean current wich is in the midnight zone of the ocean. but there is also a surface current witch is in the sunlight zone of the sea.
What is the purpose of a photdiode?
A photodiode absorbs sunlight (photons) and converts it to a current (flow of electrons) or a voltage (separation of electrons)
What is a good sentence for the word viable?
The current methods are not working and we need a viable alternative. Without water and sunlight, the plants are not viable.
How much sunlight do coastal and barrier islands get?
This varies, as will the sunlight for any other location. The only difference occurs where the islands have a cold current offshore, as this will create persistent morning fog (marine layer) at various times of the year.
What word is for the definition the kind of cells used to turn sunlight into electric current?
It is called a photovoltaic cell, also called solar cells.
What is the temperature required to dry water when it is exposed to sunlight?
As water is naturally in a liquid state. It is not possible for water to "dry" out. It will however "evaporate" in sunlight. The rate of this depends on quite a few factors including: -The amount(volume) of water -How much surface of the water is exposed to air -What is the temperature of the air -What is the temperature of the surface the water is on -What is the current humidity -What is the altitude or current air pressure
