उत्तर
i.Type of connection of solar cells in ‘A’ is ‘in series’ connection and it will give maximum potential difference.
ii.Advantage: Solar energy is an eco-friendly source of energy. It does not cause any pollution.
Disadvantage: As it can be produced in presence of sunlight only, it needs to be stored in batteries for use.
