Which of the following is an example of an Active Microvalve?

(i) Check Valve
(ii) Piezoelectric Valve
(iii) Flap Valve
(iv) Ball Valve

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer: (ii) Piezoelectric Valve

A piezoelectric valve is an active microvalve because an external electrical signal produces mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric actuator, which opens or closes the fluid path.
