Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity. Option b is correct.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is a voltage and current-producing device that consists of a single anode and cathode separated by an electrolyte.

One or more cells can make up a battery. One cell, for example, is one AA battery.

Light intensity on a solar cell is often measured in "suns," with one sun roughly equivalent to 1 kW/m².

Concentrated sunlight improves the ratio of current generated while the device is lighted vs when it is dark, hence enhancing output voltage and efficiency.

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity.

Hence, option b is correct.

To learn more about the cell refer to:

two electronics students are discussing electrical units. student A says that electrical power is measured in units coulombs, st
Savatey [412]
The statements of both students are incorrect.

-- Electrical power, just like mechanical power, is expressed in units of watts.
-- 'Coulomb' is the unit of electrical charge.
-- '400 k ohms'  means 400,000 ohms of resistance.
-- 'Volt' is the unit of electromotive force (or potential difference).

There are no 'following statements'.

All in all, a very disappointing question.

Evaporating water produces gaseous water. What has occurred during this process?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Heat has accelerated water atoms enough to break the surface tension which leads the liquid to turn into a gas

Explanation:

The state of a substance depends on the distribution of its atoms, therefore any atmosphere change (in this case heat) enough to change the atoms Distribution results in a change of state.

A water balloon is thrown horizontally from a tower that is 45 m high. It strikes the shoes of an unsuspecting passerby who is 4
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

14.85 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.8 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

45 = u × 3.03

Divide both side by 3.03

u = 45/3.03

u = 14.85 m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)
poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec
