Nelson Physics 11

Nelson Physics 12 provides a rigorous, comprehensive, and accurate treatment of all concepts and processes presented in Ontario's Physics, Grade 12, university Preparation course (SPH4U). This resource thoroughly equips students with the independent learning, problem-solving, and research skills that are essential to successfully meet the entrance requirements for university programs. Complex Physics concepts are presented in a clear, understandable fashion and key concepts, such as static equilibrium, are treated in greater depth than specified in the curriculum.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of the photovoltaic cell. It is suitable for undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers new to the field. It covers: basic physics of semiconductors in photovoltaic devices; physical models of solar cell operation; characteristics and design of common types of solar cell; and approaches to increasing solar cell efficiency. The text explains the terms and concepts of solar cell device physics and shows the reader how to formulate and solve relevant physical problems. Exercises and worked solutions are included.
