How does a photocell convert light into electrical energy?

A photocell contains semiconductor materials that generate charge carriers when exposed to light. The photons in the light provide energy to these charge carriers, creating an electrical current as they flow through the semiconductor material. This current can then be used as electrical energy.


Does the distance from the light source affect how much energy is created in a photocell?

Yes, the distance from the light source can affect the amount of energy created in a photocell. Closer distances to the light source usually result in more energy being produced in the photocell due to higher light intensity. Further distances may result in a decrease in energy production as light intensity weakens.


Is the photocell convert light energy into electrical energy?

Yes. There are three types 1. photo emissive - here as light falls electrons are emitted 2. photo voltaic - here as light falls a voltage is developed 3. photo conductive - here conductivity changes as light falls on it


What is electrical energy from a light bulb converted into?

Electrical energy from a light bulb is converted into light and heat energy. The electrical energy is transformed into light energy that illuminates the surroundings, and a lesser amount is converted into heat energy that is dispersed into the environment.


What are the five devices that use electrical energy. write the forms of energy into which electrical energy is converted by each device.?

Light bulb: Electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. Electric heater: Electrical energy is converted into heat energy. Television: Electrical energy is converted into light and sound energy. Electric fan: Electrical energy is converted into mechanical and sound energy. Computer: Electrical energy is converted into heat and sound energy, as well as processing and display energy.
