Question
What is transducer ? Give one example.

Answer

Actually transducer is a device which converts energy from one form to another. In communication system an electrical transducer is a device which converts variation in a physical quality such as pressure, displacement force, temperature etc. into corresponding variations in the electrical signal at its output. For example, Microphone, Photodetector etc.
