What is actuation in MEMS?
Think about how MEMS interact with the physical environment.
Name one type of actuation mechanism.
What are the different methods used to create motion in MEMS?
Which type of actuation is known for low power consumption?
Think about which method relies on electric fields for its operation.
True or False: Piezoelectric actuators rely on material expansion when heated.
Consider what type of energy causes changes in piezoelectric materials.
Design a simple experiment to demonstrate the principle of electrostatic actuation using common materials. What would you need and what outcome would you expect?
