Mohammed listed the steps that occur when a solar cell generates electricity.

1: solar energy is absorbed by the cell.
2: free electrons move to the front of the cell.
3: electrons begin to move.
4: electrons flow as electricity.

which best explains how to correct mohammed’s error?

a) switch steps 2 and 3.

b) switch steps 3 and 4.

c) move step 1 to appear after step 4.

d) move step 4 to appear after step 1.

mark this and return

A) Switch steps 2 and 3.

Explanation:

A solar cell is a device that converts solar energy (the energy coming from the sun) into electrical energy.

In such a device, the solar energy (the photons) hit the panel of the cell. As a result, these photons give their energy to the electrons of the material inside the cell: the electrons begin to move and becomes free, and they produce an electrical current, which carries electrical energy.

So, the correct order of the steps is:

1: Solar energy is absorbed by the cell.

3: Electrons begin to move.

2: Free electrons move to the front of the cell.

4: Electrons flow as electricity.

The correct answer is "Switch steps 2 and 3".

Explanation:

Solar cell is a device which converts the solar energy received from the sun into the electrical energy.

Firstly, solar energy is absorbed by the cell. Light consists of photons. Photons are the packets of energy. These energetic photons provide energy to the electrons.

When the solar radiation falls on the cell it makes the electrons flow inside the cell. The rate of flow of electrons constitutes the electricity. In this way, the solar energy gets converted into electrical energy.

The following  are the steps that occurs when a solar cell generates electricity as;

Solar energy is absorbed by the cell.

Electrons begin to move.

Free electrons move to the front of the cell.

Electrons flow as electricity.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).
