A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. Usually a transducer converts a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another.Transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation, measurement, and control systems, where electrical signals are converted to and from other physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light, motion, position, etc.). The process of converting one form of energy to another is known as transduction.
If you have a rotary potentiometer that measures the amount of angular displacement, what would you say the output signal of the transducer is? I'm unsure if it's resistance or voltage. A change in angular displacement changes the point of contact within the potentiometer, which directly...
