08. Pressure Sensor
A pressure sensor is a device that detects a force exerted on a surface
(pressure) and converts it to an electronic signal whose strength is relative to
the strength of the force. Pressure sensors can also be used to measure the
force exerted.
Therefore, a pressure sensor is an instrument consisting of a pressure
sensitive element to determine the actual pressure applied to the sensor (using
different working principles) and some components to convert this information
into an output signal.
