Q138 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Physics

The given graph represents V - I characteristic for a semiconductor device.
Figure
Which of the following statement is correct?

  • Correct answer
    A
    It is V - I characteristic for solar cell where, point A represents open circuit voltage and point B short circuit current
  • B
    It is for a solar cell and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and current, respectively
  • C
    It is for a photodiode and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and current respectively
  • D
    It is for a LED and points A and B represent open circuit voltage and short circuit current, respectively

Solution

Figure
The given graph is V - I characteristic curve for a solar cell, where A i.e point where V=0 represents open circuit voltage of solar cell and B i.e. the point where i=0 represents short circuit current.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
