Sensors and Transducers

A sensor or transducer is a device that gives a usable output in response to a specified measurand. The sensor produces a usable output in response to a specified quantity. it uses the sensing principle, that is it senses or detects a physical phenomenon. Our Sensors and Transducers tutorials will guide you to learn the principle and working of different types of sensors and transducers easily.
