how sensors are working?

Answer Posted / changbroot

A sensor converts the physical action to be measured into an electrical equivalent and processes it so that the electrical signals can be easily sent and further processed. The sensor can output whether an object is present or not present (binary) or what measurement value has been reached (analog or digital).

The terms "sensor" and "transducer" have often been used as synonyms. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard MC6.1 defines a transducer as "a device which provides a usable output in response to a specific measurand" (Instrument Society of America, 1975).
