An electronic scale is a device used to measure weight with the help of electronic sensors. Unlike traditional mechanical scales, which use springs, electronic scales provide a digital readout, making it easier to see the weight measurement. They are commonly used in homes, gyms, and medical facilities for weighing people, food, and other items. These scales often come with additional features, such as memory functions, body fat analysis, and connectivity to smartphones or fitness apps. Many electronic scales are powered by batteries or can be plugged into an electrical outlet, providing convenience and accuracy in weight measurement.
