HOW SOLAR PANEL WORKS ?

Solar panel is a device which convert's light energy in to electrical energy .

it is basically a PN junction diode having some important change in its construction . it works on photoelectric principle.

CONSTRUCTION -

To constructing a practical solar panel we will arrange a PN junction and at the contact surface positive charge carrier's (holes) will move toward N-type semiconductor and negative charge carrier's (electron's) will move toward P - type semiconductor (opposite charge attracts each other) forming depletion layer .

A thin layer of either of one kind of semiconductor is used towards the light rays so they can reach to the depletion layer easily ,because there neutral charge carriers atom's will absorb energy from photon's containing by light rays to produce charge carriers .

That charge carrier's than get influenced by already present electrostatic field created due to depletion layer whose direction is from "+ to - " due to this electric field there will be force on charge according to the .

E = F/q

F=Eq

And that force will make - ve charge carriers to enter N-type region and + ve charge carrier will enter into P-type semiconductor , but although we generated free charge's they will not move in semiconductor because they don't have such high conductivity as conductor's .

So we provide metal strip to N-type semiconductor than there will be accumulation of charge and if we connect it to other end P-type semiconductor + charge carrier's will accumulate there .

So as charge increases voltage will increases so current will start to flow .

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON BODY !

W ell ! i don't know how often you drink and which form of alcohol you prefer - beer , wine , whiskey or rum but all of them give one kinda of haziness which keeps you away from any kind of instantaneous action you want to do . Don't know what i want to do embarrass myself or what but i am having strong urge of sharing about my haziness after drinking . first time when i found myself drunk i was in my 9th standard pretty drunk and the liquor i used that time was moonshine not because it was my first choice but because of its low cost which eventually suited my budget that time . i was in boarding school and it was very difficult for my friends to protect me from expelling but anyway they did it very decently well i feel very gratitude for them whenever i recall that time . i also vomit for the first time yeah ! that is my story well i could have make it more embarrassing but i don't it to be so , let it be . first of all i want t...

WHAT IS THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS ?

FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMIC ENCOURAGED BY - " the law of conservation of energy". which have its own importance but when we go deep further in thermodynamics we confronts the prodigious truth that work and heat are not energy . "they are the media by which you can transfer The Energy " . FOR COMPLETE PROCESS OR FOR CYCLE - heat as input for a system completely transfer's into work or vice-ve...

WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY ?

N anotechnology is the science of manipulation of matter according to our need at the Nanoscale of the order of 10^-2 . it have tremendous possibilities in near future because of its ability of making advance material with unique chemical property which suits according to condition . This term technically first time introduced by physicist Richard Feynman in 1959 in his lecture with topic of There is plenty of room at the bottom . but at that time technology was not enough to implementation of his idea in practical application's . Primarily there is two type of approaches we use to construct anything - I) Top-to-bottom approach II) Bottom-to-top approach Top-to-bottom approach :- when we cutoff resource to make our desirable shape is known as Top-to-bottom approach ; Ex- wooden chair . Bottom-to-top approach :- when we construct structure by starting from its minute cells to approaching required shape of structure is known...
