Basic Electronics: Grade 9

This document provides an overview of basic electronics concepts related to piezo elements. Piezo elements are thin sensors that can detect vibration or knocks. They measure 20mm in diameter and are only 0.42mm thick. The prefix "piezo" refers to the ability to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress, which is the principle behind many applications of piezo technology like micro piezo print heads, audio amplifiers, ignitions, and pickups in musical instruments.
