Sensors

Sensors are devices or modules that detect changes in physical or environmental conditions and convert them into signals. They are used in a wide range of applications, from everyday devices to complex industrial systems.

Types of Sensors[edit | edit source]

There are many different types of sensors, each designed to detect specific types of changes. Some of the most common types include:

Temperature Sensors: These sensors measure changes in temperature. They are used in a wide range of applications, from home thermostats to industrial temperature control systems.

Pressure Sensors: These sensors measure changes in pressure. They are often used in industrial applications, such as monitoring the pressure in a pipeline or tank.

Proximity Sensors: These sensors detect the presence or absence of an object. They are often used in security systems and automation systems.

Light Sensors: These sensors detect changes in light levels. They are often used in outdoor lighting systems and digital cameras.

Applications of Sensors[edit | edit source]

Sensors are used in a wide range of applications, including:

Industrial Automation: Sensors are used to monitor and control industrial processes, such as manufacturing and chemical processing.

Healthcare: Sensors are used in medical devices to monitor patient health and deliver treatments.

Automotive: Sensors are used in cars and other vehicles to monitor and control various systems, such as the engine and brakes.

Consumer Electronics: Sensors are used in devices such as smartphones and tablets to provide features such as touch screens and motion detection.
