Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flow of electrons between two wafers in a photovoltaic cell is what generates the electrical current. This occurs when sunlight strikes the silicon material in the cell, causing some of the electrons to break free from their atoms and travel across the cell to create an electric current. Therefore, the correct choice is option D, which mentions electrons.
