Electronic scales are devices used to measure weight with high accuracy. They operate using sensors that convert the weight of an object into an electrical signal, which is then displayed on a digital screen. These scales are commonly used in homes, gyms, and medical facilities for weighing food, luggage, and patients. Many electronic scales come with additional features, such as the ability to measure body fat percentage or track weight over time. They are powered by batteries or electricity and can be found in various designs, including bathroom scales, kitchen scales, and industrial scales.
