Abstract

An electromechanical component and an electromechanical component arrangement for proving the existence of a potential difference which consists of a first electrode, a second electrode and a proving structure. The proving structure is configured to be deflected in the event of there being a potential difference. In addition, an electromechanical component is configured to generate a useful effect.A method implements operation of an electromechanical component for proving the existence of a potential difference, other methods implement operation for performing a functional test on the electromechanical component.
