- 2. Transducers ?Transducers ? A device which converts one form of energy to another A sensor converts the physical parameter to an electric outputs & A actuator converts an electrical signal to a physical outputs Electrical Inputs Physical outputs SENSORS ACTUATOR
- 3. SENSOR A sensor is a converter ,that measure a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can by an observer or by an instruments OR A sensor is a device, which responds to an input quantity by generating a functionally related output usually in the form of an electrical or optical signals
- 4. Let’s explain the example of temperature. The mercury in the glass thermometer expands and contracts the liquid to convert the measured temperature which can be read by a viewer on the calibrated glass tube.
- 5. Sensors are used in everyday objects such as touch sensitive elevator buttons and lams which dim or brighten by touching and many more like in cars, machines, aerospace, robotics, manufacturing, industrial, airplanes, communications(cellular telephones, radios), electrical devices and many countless other applications

On the form of transduction usedOn the form of transduction used 2.2. As Primary & Secondary TransducersAs Primary & Secondary Transducers 3.3. As Passive & Active TransducersAs Passive & Active Transducers 4.4. As Analog & Digital TransducersAs Analog & Digital Transducers 5.5. As Transducers & Inverse TransducersAs Transducers & Inverse Transducers
- 15. On the Basis of transduction used TransducerOn the Basis of transduction used Transducer can be classified in to resistive, inductive, capacitive etc depending upon how they converts the input quantity in to Resistance, inductance, capacitance etc As Primary & Secondary TransducersAs Primary & Secondary Transducers There are two stages of transduction, firstly the Pressure is converted in to a displacement by bourdon tube then the displacement is converted into analogous voltage by linear variable differential transformer(L.V.D.T),The Bourdon tube Is Primary transducer & L.V.D.T called secondary transducer As Passive & Active TransducerAs Passive & Active Transducer PPassive transducers uses the power from an external source & A part of it from the measured quantity for the process of transduction e.g - resistive, inductive, capacitive etc Active transducers self generate their own voltage or current output They do not require the external power source e.g- photovoltaic cells, thermocouple etc
