Transducers







 Transducers
All of us made significant contributions to the world. We do a lot of preparations in order to fulfill the spaces between us and to be ready to face the challenging world. Sometimes, we don’t notice that we are the persons who bring great changes to the society because of the way we live in this world. We are the one who converts the lives of the other people because of the role given to us in the society. This can also be associated in the field of electronics. There are some devices which became a converter. These devices are called transducers. Transducers are known to be devices which convert one form of energy to another. As we all know there are many types of energy such as chemical, electrical, thermal, heat, light, mechanical, static energy, nuclear energy and many others. All of these types of energy can be converted from one form to another because of the invention of transducers. In order to detect signals, transducers used sensors. It is embedded in them.


Common Types of Transducers
1.      Electrochemical transducers
These are devices that convert electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. Some examples for these are the following:
PH Probe                     Molecular electric transducer (MET)             Battery

2.      Electro acoustic transducers
These are devices that convert acoustic phenomena into electricity and vice versa. One of the examples is a microphone.

3.      Electromagnetic transducers
These are devices that use the magnetic field to have electric energy and vice versa. One example is a magnetic cartridge.

4.      Electrostatic transducers
These are devices that convert static energy into electrical energy and vice versa. One of the examples is Van de Graaff generator.

Other Types of Transducers
1.      Photoelectric transducers
These are devices that convert photos or light energy into electrical energy and vice versa. An example for these is a light bulb.
