Question:medium

Given below are two statements
Statement I: In solar cell electromagnetic energy is converted into electricity while as in fuel cell chemical energy is converted into electricity
Statement II: In both solar cell and fuel cell conversion efficiency is limited by externally reversible heat engine cycle
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Show Hint

Because fuel cells and solar cells are direct energy converters, they bypass the Carnot limit.
This allows them to achieve higher theoretical efficiencies than conventional combustion-based heat engines.
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  • Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
