A module with 40 cells has an idealized, rectangular I-V curve with ISC = 4 A and VOC = 20 V. If a single cell has a parallel resistance of 5 ohms and negligible series resistance, draw the I-V curve if one cell is completely shaded. What current would it deliver to a 12-V battery (vertical I-V load at 12 V)?
