INTRODUCTION
WHAT ARE TRANSDUCERS?

Transducers are devices that convert one

form of energy into another. In other
words, they are devices that can
transform energy from one form to
another.
 4 DIFFERENT
TYPES OF
TRANSDUCERS
1. Electrical
They convert non-electrical signals
into electrical signals or vice versa.
Examples: thermocouples, strain
gauges, piezoelectric sensors, and
photoelectric sensors.
2. Mechanical

They convert mechanical energy

into an electrical signal.
Examples: accelerometers, pressure
sensors, and flow sensors.
3. Acoustic

They convert sound energy into an

electrical signal or vice versa.
Examples: microphones, speakers, and
ultrasonic sensors.
4. Optical

They convert light energy into

an electrical signal.
Examples: photodiodes,
phototransistors, and CCD
sensors.

production process.
CONCLUSION

Transducers are versatile devices that have

transformed many industries by converting one
form of energy into another. They can be found in
numerous applications, from healthcare to
consumer electronics, and have become an
integral part of our daily lives.
