The photoelectric effect can be thought of as a simple function: light is an input, and electrons, which produce electricity, are the output. The model in this interactive is missing a few parts to harness this electricity effectively, what are they?

Answer:

(1) Conductive medium (2) Load.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electricity is essentially Flow of electrons in conductive medium such as wire and to harness it there needs to be a load in the circuitry to use up the energy of the moving electrons through the wire.

this is how solar cells work, in them there are Silicon P and N Junctions connected in series and parallel ( quite alot of them) forming a large plate , which then can be connected to a load through wires to harness electricity produced.
