The I-V curve or the “Applied Current vs the Voltage Drop†curve is the standard curve measured to observe a material’s superconductivity and critical current. The voltage drop across the superconductor material is measured as a function of the applied current. The I-V curve is used to determine physical parameters such as the superconducting critical current, the critical current density and the n-value of the material.
A graphical presentation of the current versus the voltage from a photovoltaic device as the load is increased from the short circuit (no load) condition to the open circuit (maximum voltage) condition. The shape of the curve characterized cell performance.
The plot of the current versus voltage characteristics of a photovoltaic cell, module or array. Three important points on the I-V curve are the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and peak power operating point.
A current/voltage curve, which expresses the possible combinations of current and voltage output of a photovoltaic device. See also: Amps, Maximum power, Volts
A graph that plots the current versus the voltage from the solar cell as the electrical load (or resistance) is increased from short circuit (no load) to open circuit (maximum voltage). The shape of the curve characterizing cell performance. Three important points on the IV curve are the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and peak or maximum power (operating) point.
A graphical plot or representation the current and voltage output of a solar photovoltaic cell or module as a load on the device is increased from short circuit (no load) condition to the open circuit condition; used to characterize cell/module performance.
