A typical electric weight scale consists of a load cell, a micro controller and a display.
The load cell is where the magic happens.
As the load increases, the metal is bent. On top of the bending metal is a strain gauge.
As the strain gauge is stretched, its electrical resistance (ohms) changes.
The microcontroller reads the change in the resistance and assigns a number to the result.
The microcontroller then displays the weight on the display.

An electric scale typically consists of a platform where the object is placed for weighing, sensors that detect the weight, a display screen that shows the measurement, and a power source, such as batteries or a plug. Some models may also have additional features like memory storage or connectivity to a smartphone app.
On a large scale, electric forces tend to cancel out due to the presence of positive and negative charges in equal amounts in most matter. This results in matter being mostly electrically neutral overall.
On a large scale, electric forces can interact between objects over significant distances and have a noticeable impact on large objects. They follow the inverse square law, meaning the force decreases as the distance between objects increases. Additionally, electric forces can be both attractive and repulsive, leading to behaviors such as the movement of charges in electric circuits or the formation of lightning.
Two parts of an electric cell are the anode and the cathode. The anode is the positive terminal where electrons leave the cell, while the cathode is the negative terminal where electrons enter the cell.
The Celsius scale is divided into 100 equal parts between the freezing point of water at 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees Celsius.
The parts of a balance scale include the beam, the pointer, the pivot point, the pan, and the base. The beam is the horizontal bar where the pans are attached, the pivot point is the central point where the beam rotates, and the pointer indicates balance.
