Transducer is a device which convert physical signal into electrical signal ( current/voltage/resistance). for linear measurement we can use LVDT (Linear Variable Displacement Transducer/ Linear Variable Differential Transformer). and for rotary measurement we can use RVDT (Rotary Variable Differential Transformer)

What is the difference between transistor and transformer?

A transistor in the right circuit, contributes a POWER GAIN by taking energy from an external power supply. A transformer actually has losses but is primarily used for Impedance Matching. This is very useful in establishing the most efficient arrangements for transmitting power from the source to the load. Impedance matching is an important function of all power transfer systems.


What check should be done to an electrical measuring device before attempting to measure electrical resistance?

An electronic measuring device also known as a multimeter is used to check the electrical voltage in homes and industrial areas. The checks that need to be done before a multimeter is used is the to plug the black test lead into the black socket marked com. The red lead plugs into the red socket marked voltage and resistance.


What are linear wave Shaping circuits?

if a sinusoidal voltage is applied to linear circuit the output voltage is also sinusoidal in nature as far as the waveform is concerned the amplitude of input signal may change and there may be phase displacement between input voltages and output voltages


What digital multi meter setting should be used to measure voltage?

There are settings for AC and DC voltages. If they are not marked as such, the DC setting might be parallel lines and the AC marking may be a cycle of a sine wave (Wavy line).


What instruments used in measuring current and voltage?

Multi meterAnswerInstruments that measure current are called ammeters, and instruments that measure voltage are called voltmeters. An instrument that measures resistance is called an ohmmeter. Each of these functions can be combined into one instrument, called a multimeter.

What is a transducer and How it may be used to measure displacement?

A transducer is a device that converts one type of information to another type of information, in a manner that makes sense to both the sender and the receiver. A transducer can convert an electrical signal, such as a 4-20ma current loop, to a pressure control valve or to a position servo. It can reverse that, measuring some physical effect, such as pressure or position, converting it into a signal. Transducers measuring displacement is one example. if the displacement is large, such as the level representing the volume of fluid in a tank, it might be measured with a potentiometer, or it might be measured with an up-down counter driven from a pair of 90 degree phased sensors reading a toothed wheel. (Original computer mice worked this way.) If the displacement is small, such as the movement of a diaphragm in a pressure sensor, it might be measured with a strain gauge (such as a piezo-electric device) and locally linearized and calibrated.


Why will the electronic speedo not work on your peugeot 306 turbo?

You may have a problem with the transducer. Check the wires coming from the transducer. If the connection is not loose and everything is okay, you will have to replace the transducer.


The measure of distance from one point to another is?

I am going to try!I think it is called the "displacement".I may be incorrect so check again. It is called the "length".The answer above is used in Physics.


What is potentiometric transducer?

It converts linear or angular motion into a changing resistance which may be converted directly to voltage and/or current signals


What instuments is used to measure an angle?

A protractor is used to measure angles.


What is the basic circuit of transducer?

The question here has been framed wrongly. There is nothing like a general circuit for a transducer. Depending on a transducer you may have many circuits. For eg. a Piezoelectric crystal is a transducer, it can convert both ways; mechanical vibrations to electrical and electrical to mechanical. So you see, there is nothing like a general circuit for a transducer. Another better example would include an Antenna which converts electro-magnetic waves into a electric signal. All that you can say at max is that a transducer is a device that converts one form of energy to another. And that is either due to the virtue of the property of a material or due to a certain circuitry which will vary from transducer to transducer.


How much mm is equal to 1 degree?

A millimetre is a measure of length or linear dispacement while a degree may be a measure of angular displacement. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.


Is the distance covered by a body may be greater than the magnitude of displacement?

yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.


Is the distance covered by a body may be greater than a magnitude of the displacement?

yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.

What happens when both chemicals are alkaline?

Displacement may occur, or if both are made up in water, displacement reactions may occur between the ions of water and each chemical may occur


What are displacement?

vector representing a change in position of a body or point with respect to a reference point, Displacement may be linear or angular.
