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

What is the term for a type of cell that converts the sun's energy into electrical energy by releasing electrons from silicon?
The term for this type of cell is a photovoltaic cell, commonly known as a solar cell. Solar cells generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and allowing the electrons in the silicon to move freely, creating an electric current.
What changes chemical or radiant energy into electrical energy?
A device called a solar cell can convert radiant energy from the sun into electrical energy through a process called the photoelectric effect. Additionally, certain chemical reactions in batteries or fuel cells can also convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
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 the term for a type of cell that converts the Suns energy into electrical energy by releasing from silicon?
This would be called a photocell.
What does photocell mean?
A photocell is a device that detects light. It works by converting light into an electrical signal, which can then be used to control various applications like automatic lighting systems or cameras.
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.
What is the difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?
WHEN it works - solar by day, wind when its blowing.
What is one difference between a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?
Solar cells do not convert kinetic energy to electricity
What is one difference between using a solar cell for electrically and using a windmill?
Solar cells do not convert kinetic energy to electricity
Light is converted into electricity in an?
photovoltaic cell, photoelectric cell, photocell
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.
What is the term for a type of cell that converts the sun's energy into electrical energy by releasing electrons from silicon?
The term for this type of cell is a photovoltaic cell, commonly known as a solar cell. Solar cells generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and allowing the electrons in the silicon to move freely, creating an electric current.
What is fill factor?
Fill factor is the ratio (or the difference) between the actual output of a solar cell or panel, and its theoretical output (which can be about 30%higher).
What is the difference between a cell cycle and a egg cycle?
the difference between a cell cycle and egg cycle is...

How can a faulty photocell be detected?
By covering the photo cell and if the relay coil doesnt work.
