What is the difference between the sensor and the transducer?

In the general case, a sensor is the complete assembly required to detect and communicate a particular event, while a transducer is the element within that assembly which accomplishes only the detection of the event. At the risk of getting too abstract, a transducer converts an input to an output that can be exploited to accomplish the sensing mission. For example, a pressure sensor may use a diaphragm and/or strain gage to "detect" pressure differential across the diaphragm, but he complete sensor will additionally consist of a display element and the electronics required to energize and condition the output of the detecting transducer, as well as the elements required to house and drive the display feature. A compass is a simple sensor of magnetic north, wherein the magnetic element in the compass is the transducer or "north detector" and the needle, housing and compass face comprise the remainder of the "north sensor". In special cases, a sensor and a transducer can be the same. For example, a bi-metallic spring element can both detect temperature change, and may well be the entire sensor if a pointer is attached to the bi-metalic spring.


What is a copper-constantan thermocouple?

A thermocouple is a temperature sensor made from two different types of metal. Different metal types give different sensing properties and ranges. Several standard pairs of metals are defined in industry and designated by a letter. A copper-constantan thermocouple is "Type T."

Is there a difference between a photo transducer a photo sensor and a photo electric transducer if there is one what is it?

No There is not much a difference you can draw between a Sensor & a transducer, as both does the same thing of measuring an energy in form & converting it to other form. But a transducer will make an additional effort to convert the energy into measurable electrical form & then then transmitting!!!! Pls coment
