Electric water heater and piezoelectric force transducer

What is a piezoelectric force transducer (or sensor)? A transducer is a device that transmits power from one system to another. In the case of the piezoelectric, they power comes in the form of electricity from a piezoelectric material acted on. Piezoelectricity may be described as the property of some materials that become electrically charged when subject to mechanical stress. These special materials also show a similar effect by undergoing mechanical deformation due to the …
