Sensors

Sensors are devices that can detect or measure physical properties and record, indicate, or transmit data for further processing. This document discusses several common types of sensors including temperature, light, pressure, humidity, and motion sensors. Temperature sensors measure temperature, light sensors measure light intensity, pressure sensors measure liquid or gas pressure, humidity sensors measure moisture in the air, and motion sensors detect movement and body heat. Sensors have many applications from maintaining building temperatures to automated lights to monitoring medical equipment.

WHAT ARE SENSORS ?

• Sensors are things that can detect /


measure and report a physical Change in
the physical environment. Sensors can
communicate with Other E-devices so
that data to be read. There are numerous
different types of sensors that we see in
our daily lives
USES OF SENSORS

• People use sensors to measure temperature, detect smoke, and for many other
things. It can be very useful in the current world. Did you know that there are
15-30 sensors in a car!
TYPES OF SENSORS

• There are many different types of sensors in the current world, for example:
1. Temperature Sensor – Measures Temperature in a particular area
2. Light Sensor – Measures Intensity of Light
3. Motion Sensor – Sense motion and movement in the body
TEMPERATURE SENSORS

• Temperature Sensors are sensors • You can usually see it in building to


which measure the temperature in a maintain constant temperature

LIGHT SENSORS

• Light Sensors are sensors which • You usually find it in automated

PRESSURE SENSOR

• Pressure Sensors are Sensors which • An example is that it is used to


measures the pressure of liquids or monitor oxygen levels in pressure
gases. tanks in hospitals to ensure the
patient’s health.
HUMIDITY SENSOR

• Humidity Sensors (also called as • You may find it in museums to


Hygrometers) are sensors which prevent moisture damage from

you.
MOTION SENSOR

• Motion sensors are sensors which • In some smartwatches, they can tell

taken, this is because of the motion
sensor placed in the smartwatch.
