Which of the following are common types of displacement sensors discussed?
3Explain the basic operating principle of a potentiometric displacement sensor.
4In a capacitive displacement sensor, what physical property is typically altered to detect displacement?
5What is a key advantage of using inductive displacement sensors in certain applications?
6What does the term 'linearity' mean in the context of a displacement sensor's performance?
7For an optical displacement sensor, what is being measured to determine displacement?
8Consider a linear potentiometric sensor with a total resistance of 10 kΩ and a stroke length of 100 mm. If the wiper is positioned at 25 mm from one end, what is the resistance measured at the wiper terminal (assuming the voltage is applied across the ends)?
