Capacitive pressure sensor

A capacitive pressure sensor is a device that measures pressure by detecting changes in capacitance, which is the ability to store electrical charge. It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material. When pressure is applied, the distance between the plates changes, altering the capacitance. This change is converted into an electrical signal that corresponds to the pressure applied. Capacitive pressure sensors are known for their accuracy and sensitivity, making them useful in various applications, such as weather monitoring, industrial processes, and automotive systems.
