What is a Transducer?

transducer

A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. For example, a transducer may take electrical energy and convert it into mechanical energy.

These are just a few examples of transducers that are out there. There are many more. It shows how devices can take a certain energy input and convert it into another.

Examples:

Microphone-A microphone is a transducer that takes sound energy and converts it into electrical energy. It takes some type of sound as its input and converts it into electrical pulses or signals.

Speaker-A speaker is a transducer that takes electrical energy and converts it into sound energy. The pattern of electrical pulses that goes through the speaker comes out proportionally as sound.

Motor- A motor is a transducer that takes electrical energy and converts it into mechanical energy. It is fed a voltage and converts that voltage into a mechanical movement. An example of a motor is a servo motor, which turns or spins in response to electrical energy.
