How does a quartz clock works?

 

In olden days,we know that the people wake up when sun rises and go to bed when it sets.But days pass on,people needed to keep track of hours,minutes and seconds and found accurated time.Today many people use quartz clocks and watches.

How does a quartz clock works?                                    Inside a quartz clock we find a battery .That battery sends the electricity to the quartz crystal through a circuit.That citcuit makes the crystal vibrate and detects the oscillations and turns into regular electric pulses as one per second.These pulses drive into miniature stepping motor.This converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.These stepping motor turns gears.And these gears sweep hands.It mainly depends upon quartz crystal.

          quartz crystal                      Quartz crystal works under mechanical pressure and generates electricity.It maintains a precise standard frequency and gives accurate time.
