What are Sensors and Switches?

Sensors and switches are electrical components that are used in many systems and devices. Sensors, as the name implies, are designed to sense or respond to certain changes or stimuli. A sensor might be able to detect changes in temperature, for example, or exposure to a certain element.

Sensors can also detect moisture, changes in electrical current, and so on, triggering different responses or actions elsewhere in the system. Switches, meanwhile, are electrical components that are able to control electrical circuits by connecting or disconnecting certain pathways and parts.

What do Sensors and Switches do?

The main purpose of items like sensors and switches is to provide additional levels of control over electrical systems and appliances. We can use sensors in electrical systems to control the way a device, machine, or system behaves when certain conditions are met or certain triggers are encountered, for example, while switches are useful for controlling the flow of power through a system or device, making it easier to turn on and off or adjust certain elements of its functionality.
