The electrical energy produced by a solar photovoltaic cell is of which nature, requiring an inverter before it can run most household equipment?
AAC, converted to DC by inverter
BDC, converted to AC by inverter
CDC, used directly by appliances
DAC, stored directly in batteries
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. DC, converted to AC by inverter
1. A solar photovoltaic cell produces DC electricity.
2. Most domestic and industrial equipment run on AC power.
3. So the DC must be converted to AC using a device called an inverter.
4. Option A reverses the conversion direction, so it is ruled out.
