Transducer
What is a Transducer?
A transducer is an electronic device that converts energy from one form to another. The process of converting energy from one form to another is known as transduction.
Some common examples of transducers include loudspeakers, microphones, thermometers and LEDs.
Why do we need a transducer?
To determine the exact magnitude of physical forces such as temperature and pressure is difficult. But, if these physical forces are converted into an electrical signal, then their values can be easily determined using a meter. The primary function of transducers is to convert a physical force into an electrical signal so that it can be easily handled and transmitted for measurement.
