Capacitive sensors are used mainly to detect proximity, usually that of people. The operating principle is that the capacitance of the capacitor varies as material comes between the two plates of the capacitor, and you can determine the presence of something via the measurement of the capacitance.

What are transducers made of?

Transducers can be made of various materials depending on the type and purpose, such as piezoelectric crystals for ultrasound transducers or coils of wire for electromagnetic transducers. Other common materials include ceramics, metals, and semiconductors. The choice of material is based on factors like sensitivity, durability, and cost.


What is the difference between mechanical and electrical transducers?

The mechanical transducers are the mechanical elements that are used for converting one form of energy into other form that can be measured easily. Electrical transducers may be classified as active or passive. The active transducers generate electric current or voltage directly in response to stimulation

What is a capacitive reactive circuit?

A circuit that has only a capacitor in it. Or the net reactance is below zero, making it capacitive. The current leads the voltage in a negative (capacitive) reactive circuit.
