What is the difference between Beam balance and Electronic balance?
A beam balance is used to compare the mass of two objects, where the mass of one object is constant means its exact mass is known. The two objects are placed on opposite sides of a long beam, which is precariously situated on a pivot arm. When both the objects balance at the exact same level, they have the same mass.
An electronic balance is a device that generates a current proportional to the displacement of the pan to find accurate measurements of weight.
Hence, balance beam scales work on the theory of mass, while electronic scales measure weight.
