Question 49 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 19 of 30, Section A.

Identify the solar cell characteristics from the following options :

The figure, in words

Four I vs V graphs given as options.

(1)[figure: I-V graph, curve in first quadrant rising sharply after a small threshold voltage]
(2)[figure: I-V graph with axes crossing, curve in the fourth quadrant (V positive, I negative) bending from the I axis down to the V axis]Official answer
(3)[figure: I-V graph, straight line through the origin in the first quadrant]
(4)[figure: I-V graph with axes crossing, flat near origin, rising steeply for positive V and falling steeply for negative V]
