Question

Capacitive transducers are normally used for:

• A. static measurement
• B. dynamic measurement
• C. both static and dynamic measurements
• D. transient measurement

Hint:

Capacitive transducers are highly sensitive and can be used for both static and dynamic measurements depending on the application. Always consider the operating conditions when choosing the right sensor.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Capacitive transducers are versatile devices that can be used to measure both static and dynamic displacements. They work on the principle of varying capacitance, which is affected by the distance between the electrodes and the dielectric constant of the material between them.
- Static measurements: Capacitive transducers can measure static displacements such as position or gap between components.
- Dynamic measurements: Capacitive transducers can also measure dynamic displacements like vibrations or changes in position over time.
Thus, capacitive transducers are capable of performing both static and dynamic measurements, making option (3) the correct answer.
