On the contrary, when the intensity of the light on the silicon photocell is changed from strong to weak, when the illuminance reaches a certain value, the light-emitting diode will emit light, thus the design of the light controlled switch circuit based on the silicon photocell is realized.
Volt ampere characteristics When the input light intensity of silicon photocell is constant, the relationship between the output voltage and current of the photocell along with the change of load resistance is called the volt ampere characteristic. Load characteristics The photocell is used as a battery, as shown in figure 3.
3.3.2. Open Circuit Voltage Characteristic Test of Silicon Photocell. Under the condition of the Fig2 circuit, the illuminance on photocell is controlled by illumination meter. Adjust illumination to the minimum, connected to the illumination meter, DC power to the minimum, open the illumination meter, at this time the meter readings should be 0.
The photocurrent of the Si photodiode is extremely linear with respect to the incident light level. When the incident light is within the range of 10-12 to 10-2 W, the achievable range of linearity is higher than nine orders of magnitude (depending on the type of photodiode and its operating circuit, etc.).
Under the condition of the Fig1 circuit, the illuminance on photocell is controlled by illumination meter. Adjust illumination to the minimum, connected to the illumination meter, DC power to the minimum, open the illumination meter, at this time the illumination meter readings should be 0.
The basic characteristics of silicon photovoltaic cells are mainly studied, such as short-circuit current, photoelectric characteristics, spectral characteristics, volt ampere characteristics, time response characteristics and so on, and the application of silicon photocell can be realised.

Silicon Diode Biasing: Forward vs Reverse Bias Explained
Zener diodes are made to work in reverse bias at a specific voltage, called the breakdown voltage. When the reverse voltage hits this point, a controlled breakdown happens. This keeps the voltage across the diode constant, even if the current changes. Zener diodes are often used in voltage regulation circuits.
