In this photovoltaic (solar) cell,the n-type semiconductor is in the region labeled 
A)A 
B)B 
C)C

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The n-type semiconductor is indicated by the shaded region with the downward-facing arrows in region B. This is because n-type semiconductors have an excess of negative electrons, which are represented by the arrows pointing downwards. The p-type semiconductor is indicated by the shaded region with the upward-facing arrows in region C.
