Sensor

A sensor is a device that detects physical or chemical changes in the environment and converts this information into an electrical signal for monitoring or control purposes. Sensors are widely used in various applications, including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. In vehicles, sensors monitor parameters like temperature, pressure, speed, and oxygen levels, providing real-time data to the vehicle's Electronic Control Units (ECUs). This data helps optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and safety systems. Common types of sensors include temperature sensors, oxygen sensors, pressure sensors, and motion sensors, each playing a crucial role in enhancing system functionality.
