The function of a sensor in an electronic device is to detect and measure a specific physical input or environmental condition such as light, temperature, pressure, motion, or proximity. It converts these physical quantities into electrical signals that can be processed by the device's microcontroller or processor. Sensors enable devices to perceive and respond to their surroundings, providing valuable information for decision-making and control purposes.

The function of a sensor in an electronic device is to detect and measure physical quantities or environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, light, motion, or proximity. It converts these real-world signals into electrical signals that can be processed and interpreted by the electronic device. This enables the device to gather data from its surroundings, monitor its environment, and respond accordingly. Sensors play a crucial role in numerous applications, including smartphones, automobiles, home automation systems, medical devices, and industrial processes.
