Study Notes
Understanding Photovoltaic Cells Through PN Junction Diodes
- A PN junction diode is a crucial component in understanding photovoltaic cells.
- A diode is part of a larger circuit.
- The diode's terminals are labeled A (anode) and K (cathode).
- Current (I) flows from anode to cathode.
- Voltage (Vak) is measured across the anode and cathode terminals.
- The relationship between current and voltage across the diode terminals (I and Vak) is key to understanding its behaviour.
- Studying this characteristic helps comprehend PV cell behaviour.
