A device that converts energy from one form to another, such as optical energy to electrical energy
A device that converts one form of energy to another Playback transducers are the phono cartridge, which changes mechanical vibrations into electrical energy, and the loudspeakers, which change it back, from electrical energy coming from the amp to mechanical movement of the diaphragm, causing audible pressure changes in the air
A device which converts one form of energy into another The diaphragm in the telephone and the carbon microphone in the transmitter are transducers They change variations in sound pressure (your voice) to variations in electricity, and vice versa
In acoustics this term is used to describe an antenna which converts electrical energy into sound wave and vice versa
A device which converts a physical quantity into an electrical signal Examples include thermocouples and photocells
A device (or medium) that converts energy from one form to another The term is generally applied to devices that take physical phenomenon (pressure, temperature, humidity, flow, etc ) and convert it to an electrical signal
In audio, a device to convert sound to electrical energy or vice versa Microphones and loudspeakers are two type of transducers Also refers to the portion of a microphone that is directly involved with conversion of sound energy to electrical energy A phono cartridge also is a transducer, one that converts mechanical energy (vibration of the stylus) into electrical energy
A mechanism which converts energy from one form to another For example, a diaphragm converts soundwaves to mechanical vibrations, while a microphone converts them to electrical current, and a loudspeaker or earphone converts electrical energy into soundwaves The diaphragm, microphone and loudspeaker are all transducers
A device that converts energy from one form to another Generally, a device that converts an input signal into an output signal of a different form It can also be thought of as a device which converts static signals detected in the environment (such as pressure) into an electrical signal that is sent to a robot's control system
Any device which converts energy from one form to another, i e , electrical to acoustic or vice-versa Loudspeakers and microphones are two types of transducers 2
A device for transforming mechanical energy to electrical energy, or for transforming electrical energy to mechanical energy, such as in microphones and loudspeakers, but not motors or generators
a device that converts energy from one form to another, retaining the amplitude variations of the energy being converted Examples include a microphone, which converts acoustical energy into electrical energy; a loudspeaker, that does the reverse; a photocell that converts light energy to electrical energy
