Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.

What energy change takes place when the photovoltaic cell absorbs sunlight?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Solar energy - Chemical energy - Electrical energy

Explanation:

A photovoltaic is a device which operates with respect to its exposure to radiation or light. This property determines its applications in electronics.

The energy from sunlight is in the form of solar energy, which get absorbed by the photovoltaic cell. The cell transforms the solar energy and store it as chemical energy. This is now finally transformed majorly into electrical energy as the output energy from the cell. Some amount of heat energy is produced in the process.
