Question

The material used in solar cells contains:
(A). Cs
(B). Si
(C). Sn
(D). Ti

Answer 1

Hint:The solar cell is a device that gets the light from the Sun and then converts this light into the electricity. Light carries the charged particles or the photon energy, cells use these carriers and produce the electricity.

Complete answer:
As we know that the solar cell is an electrical device that is used to produce electricity. We have three types of the solar cells. And based on material used, the solar cells are divided as first-generation cells, second generation cells and third generation cells.
The first-generation cells are known as the conventional, water based or traditional cells which are made up of crystalline silicon. And the materials like monocrystalline silicon and polysilicon are used in commercial predominant technology.
The second-generation solar cells are made of material like copper, indium, selenide, gallium, and some others are also used. They are flexible films which can be applied to metal, glass or plastic. The third-generation solar cells are less commercially advanced. These cells are sensitized by the dyes, perovskites and quantum dots are considered as the third-generation solar cells
So, silicon is used as the material in solar cells.
Therefore, the option B is correct.

Note:
As we know that the solar cell is a semiconductor device that is used to convert the light energy into electrical energy. The light carries the photon charges. Solar cell receives the photon charges and these charged carriers cause the flow of current.
