Photovoltaic Cells
A photovoltaic (PV) cell, also known as a solar cell, is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. This technology has become increasingly important as a source of renewable energy, particularly in the last few decades as concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability have grown. The basic operation of a photovoltaic cell […]

LEDs
An LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is a type of electronic component that produces light when a current is passed through it. LEDs are widely used in a variety of applications, including lighting, displays, and signaling. The basic structure of an LED consists of a semiconductor material, usually made of a compound of elements such […]

Diodes
A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction. It is made of a material known as a semiconductor, typically silicon or germanium, which has special properties that allow it to be used as a switch. When a voltage is applied to the diode, the flow of current […]
