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  .

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...

CAN WE PRODUCE CLEAN ENERGY ?

World is full of advancement today from previous era , we have astounding facilities good lifestyle better food and more but did you ever feel amazed how all of this possible today which was impossible before , all of this happens because of our developed technology of converting energy from one form to another with increased efficiency . but we are again at the bank of river of question's  , question which is seducing me from past several months and its attempt to draw my attention is legal too because of our current condition  a problem of ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION who is grown up baby now of our human race and its age is from industrial revolution to today's date . if i play little maneuver to our problem of environmental pollution to a QUESTION as              " is there any way to get immense treasure of clean energy ? " like we usually do in mathematics , and if yes than how , here the clean energy source ...

NOTION OF TIME BEFORE ALBERT !

  I n ancient Greek philosophy one of the two philosopher who influenced entire western philosophy was Aristotle and Plato , Aristotle was student of Plato due to his extraordinary brilliance his master Plato said  " the mind of academy " in his respect .   A philosopher who gave his contribution nearly to every subject that exists in that era , according to  Aristotle .               " Time is nothing but measurement of change " A classical way of giving definition about something,lets again pay little attention to chosen word's here "time" a subject about which he gave his opinion  then "nothing but" this words makes sure it is only "measurement of change" or change in temporal world we live in . that means there will be no time if everything  around  us directly or indirectly frozen even our brain nerves are frozen so we cant even notice that nothing is changing .  in my opinion...
