This lecture introduces the physical phenomena behind electrostatic transduction, describing the coupling equations between electrical and mechanical quantities. It covers the charge accumulation in capacitors, capacitance calculation, and the electrostatic force. The lecture also explains the operation of electrostatic transducers, both as sensors and actuators, using examples like microphones and loudspeakers.
