one of the main difference between sensor and transducer is that a

transducer is a device that can convert energy from one form to another whereas

a sensor is a device that can detect a physical quantity and convert the data

into an electrical signal sensors are also a type of transducer in this video

I will be going to show you difference between sensor and transducer firstly we

see definition of sensor the sensor is a device that measures the physical

quantity that is heat light sound etc into an easily readable signal that is

voltage current etc it gives accurate readings after calibration definition of

transducer transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation

measurement and control systems where electrical signals are converted to and

from other physical quantities that is energy force talk light motion position

etc the process of converting one form of energy to another is known as

transduction now we see the difference between sensor and transducer are

explained below in the comparison chart sensor which converts one physical

quantity into electrical quantity transducer which converts one form of

energy into another foam sensor just sends the physical quantity it does not

convert to any foam transducer equal sensor plus transduction element it

converts one form of energy into another form sensor which can respond to a

change in physical parameter and produce a change in a physical parameter that

can be sensed transducer which convert a change in physical parameter into some

useful energies form sensor is nothing but just a primary element which senses

any physical phenomena or it gives an indication in any change of the physical

phenomena every transducer is always having a sensor but every sensor doesn't

need to be a transducer sensor output is always

trick output transducer output always will not be an electric output a sensor

is the complete assembly required to detect and communicate a particular

event a transducer is the element within that assembly which accomplishes only

the detection of the event proximity sensor magnetic sensor accelerometer

barometer are the examples of the sensors the thermistor and thermocouple

is the examples of the transducer dear viewers thanks for watching the video if
