Have you ever heard of TRASDUCERS ?

Let’s start>>

Transducers have a great impact in the field of


technology

We are the users of transducers without knowing it ??!!

Have you ever thought how the auto screen rotation in


modern mobile takes place??

How the wireless communication has been made more


effective??

Do you know how proximity switching, positioning, speed


detection, light sensing, sound sensing and current sensing
applications work??

All these questions will be simplified

What is a TRANSDUCER

A transducer is a device, usually electrical, electronic, electro-


mechanical, electromagnetic, photonic, or photovoltaic that
converts one type of energy or physical attribute to another for
various purposes including measurement or information transfer.

for example, tape head

What is a TRANSDUCER

The term transducer is commonly used in two senses; the


sensor, used to detect a parameter in one form and report it in
another (usually an electrical or digital signal), and the audio
loudspeaker, which converts electrical voltage variations
representing music or speech, to mechanical cone vibration and
hence vibrates air molecules creating sound.

What is a TRANSDUCER

Most of the transducers either convert electrical energy into


mechanical displacement and/or convert some non electrical
physical quantity (such as temperature, light, force, sound etc.)
to an electrical signal.

In an electronic instrumentation system, the


functions of a transducer (being the input device) are
two-fold

1. To detect or sense the presence, magnitude and changes in physical


quantity being measured, and

2. To provide a proportional electrical output signal
