Do LED Lights Work with Photocells?
Since LEDs work on direct current, the light bulb needs to convert the current to DC first. A "clean," uninterrupted AC signal can easily convert to constant DC. However, when the current goes through the photocell, the light bulb has much more trouble converting
operational amplifier
If you don''t need a true ground on the load and the load is not remote then the first circuit is preferable (an example would be an integrator where the load is a capacitor). It would not be great if the load was a temperature sensor with 20m leads. The transistor circuit ...
Constant Current Sources with BJT
Constant Current Sources In the following I''ll discuss advantages and disadvantages of several types of constant current sources, all built with bipolar transistors. Why, you may ask, there are already numerous books and websites covering this subject. Well, I ...
Why should the output impedance of a current source be much …
For a voltage source (except RF circuits), the output impedance of the source signal being coupled must be much smaller than the input impedance of the load. This is first of all done to prevent lo... $begingroup$ Another thing to note about real-world current sources is that--like you can''t have infinite amperage coming out of a [real-world] voltage source- …
Constant Current Source
Why is a Constant Current Source Useful? Suppose you have 5 LEDs in series – and you want 10mA of current to flow through them with a power supply of 12v DC. If using just a current limiting resistor, you''ll subtract the LED voltage drops, and divide the remaining voltage across the current liming resistor by 10mA.
PV panel -a current source or voltage source?
I''m reading about PV behaviour and am confused on whether a PV panel/cell would be considered to be a voltage source or current source or both or neither (from the characteristic IV curve). The IV curve looks …
The Photoelectric Effect | AQA A Level Physics Topic Questions …
Figure 1 shows a photocell which uses the photoelectric effect to provide a current in an external circuit. Ultraviolet radiation is incident on the photo-emissive surface. It has a wavelength of 150 nm and the current is 1.8 µA. Give the value of the current when the
6.2 Photoelectric Effect
But when the target material is connected to the negative terminal of a battery and exposed to radiation, a current is registered in this circuit; this current is called the photocurrent. Suppose that we now reverse the potential difference between the electrodes so that the target material now connects with the positive terminal of a battery, and then we slowly …

Resistor R2 and the photocell R3 form a voltage divider. The voltage at the R2-R3 junction increases with falling light. That voltage, buffered by emitter-follower Q1, controls relay RY1 with common-emitter amplifier Q2 and current-limiting resistor R4.
Why doesn''t photoelectric current increase with frequency of the …
$begingroup$ @math2001, I think the point is that 1 photon → 2 electrons isn''t possible, even if the photon''s energy is double the work function. In other words, a higher-frequency photon can''t split its energy across two electrons, and so the number of electrons ...

Current Source and Dependent Current Sources
Then an ideal current source is called a "constant current source" as it provides a constant steady state current independent of the load connected to it producing an I-V characteristic represented by a straight line. As with voltage sources, current sources can be ...
Photoelectric Effect: Explanation & Applications
The photoelectric effect refers to what happens when electrons are emitted from a material that has absorbed electromagnetic radiation. Physicist Albert Einstein was the first to describe the...

In this experiment, you will measure Planck''s constant by investigating the current-voltage characteristics of and the colors emitted by a series of light-emitting diodes. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used as components in various consumer products.
Planck''s constant (Photo Electric Effect)
Planck''s constant (Photo Electric Effect) Aim: 1. To determine Planck''s Constant and work function using photo electric effect. 2. To verify inverse square law of radiation. Apparatus used: Light source, Digital voltmeter and ammeter, Vacuum photo tube, filters

Describe how Einstein''s idea of a particle of radiation explains the photoelectric effect. When a metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of …
The Ultimate Guide to Understanding and Using a 4-Wire Photocell …
A 4-wire photocell is called so because it has four terminals, two of which are used for the sensing of light, while the other two are providing a constant resistance reference. This design allows for more accurate light measurements and precise control over the sensitivity and threshold of the device.
Understanding constant current source in amplifier stage
constant current source: Q5 acts as a constant current source for the darlington pair. As such, if there were an increase in current at the collector of Q5, the emitter-base forward bias of Q5 would reduce (from the higher voltage drop across the emitter resistor of Q5), and the resulting lower Ib would reduce Ic and Ie.
