Task

Determine the power of the solar cell at varying illumination intensities! What connection can be found between these two physical quantities?

Preparation

Add Equipment as shown in the diagram and set up the experiment as seen in the sketch

Execution

  1. Put the lighting module with one luminous lamp on the solar cell and measure the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage of the solar cell!
  2. Repeat the measurement with 2, 3 and 4 lamps in the lighting module! List all measurements in a
