what is diff between sensors and transducers.explain with
ex?

Answer Posted / ashokkumar

Sensor is a device which measures a physical quantity like
vibration ,temperature,humidity,pressure,speed etc and
converts in electrical form depending on the sensor
properties whether active or passive type.


Transducer is a device which converts one form of energy
into another form.That may be from voltage to current or
temperature to voltage.

So all sensor can be transducer but all transducer can't be
sensor.
