Correct option is C
A solar cell is essentially a diode in reverse bias. The equivalent circuit model of a solar cell depicts it as a current source in parallel with a diode. When illuminated, the diode generates a current proportional to the light intensity.
Capacitor: Capacitors store electrical energy. While solar cells can store energy in the form of charge during operation, their primary function is to convert light into electricity, not to store it.
Transistor: Transistors are semiconductor devices that act as switches or amplifiers. They control the flow of current based on an applied voltage. A solar cell is a current generator, not a current controller.
Inductor: Inductors store energy in a magnetic field. Solar cells generate electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect, not through magnetic induction.
