Mercury tilt switch Sensor
In this simulation, students explore how a Mercury Tilt Switch Sensor detects changes in position or tilt. They can connect the sensor to a power supply and an LED module, then tilt the sensor to observe how the LED turns ON or OFF. This activity introduces the fundamentals of tilt sensing and demonstrates how tilt sensors are used in alarms, safety systems, and electronic devices.
