How power produced by a solar cell is affected by its distance from a light source. Theory I expect that as the solar cells are moved closer the light source the higher the power they will produce. As light moves away from the source it spreads out at all angles the further you are from the source the less intense the light will be. P = I V Power = current x volts P = FA Power = flux x area Flux = P/A Area of 4 solar cells that I will use is 0.0077m2 This means that the higher the flux the higher the power as we are not changing the area of the solar cells as this remains is constant. So as flux increases so will the power and this will happen as the cells are moved closer to the light. Diagram Using what I know about space and the way light intensity changes the relation...
