Justify and illustrate the use of electronic balances to measure mass.

Electronic balances measure mass, not weight, because they function based on internal calibration using standard masses. They operate using electromagnetic force compensation, where an electromagnetic field counteracts the gravitational force on the object, providing a precise mass measurement regardless of location. This makes electronic balances more accurate than spring balances, which depend on gravitational variations.
