WHAT DOES TRANSDUCER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Transducer

A transducer is a device that converts a signal in one form of energy to another form of energy. Energy types include electrical, mechanical, electromagnetic, chemical, acoustic and thermal energy. While the term transducer commonly implies the use of a sensor/detector, any device which converts energy can be considered a transducer. Transducers are widely used in measuring instruments. A sensor is used to detect a parameter in one form and report it in another form of energy, often an electrical signal. For example, a pressure sensor might detect pressure and convert it to electrical signal for display at a remote gauge. An actuator accepts energy and produces movement. The energy supplied to an actuator might be electrical or mechanical. An electric motor and a loudspeaker are both actuators, converting electrical energy into motion for different purposes. Combination transducers have both functions; they both detect and create action. For example, a typical ultrasonic transducer switches back and forth many times a second between acting as an actuator to produce ultrasonic waves, and acting as a sensor to detect ultrasonic waves.

Definition of transducer in the English dictionary

The definition of transducer in the dictionary is any device, such as a microphone or electric motor, that converts one form of energy into another.
