Q.3. Write down the application areas of microsystems. [2]
Answer
Microsystems find application across automotive (airbag accelerometers, tire-pressure sensors), biomedical (lab-on-chip diagnostic devices, implantable drug-delivery pumps), consumer electronics (MEMS microphones, gyroscopes in smartphones), industrial process control (pressure and flow sensors), aerospace (inertial navigation MEMS), telecommunications (RF MEMS switches), and environmental monitoring (gas sensors), owing to their small size, low power consumption, and mass-production compatibility.
