Change in length is independent of
the direction of the magnetic field
But depend only on the
magnitude of the field and
Nature of the material

67. MAGNETOSTRICTIVE TRANSDUCER

68. MAGNETOSTRICTIVE TRANSDUCER
LT battery used to
heat the filament
So electrons are
produced
Those electrons
are accelerated
by HT Battery
So AC current
Produced in the
circuit

69. So Rod start

76. Definition - Piezoelectric
• Piezoelectric transducers are a type of electro
acoustic transducer that convert the electrical
charges produced by some forms of solid
materials into energy.
• The word "piezoelectric" literally means
electricity caused by pressure.

77. Circuit

78. Arrangement of the circuit

79. Working LT battery used to
heat the filament
So electrons are
produced
Those electrons are
accelerated by HT Battery
So AC current
Produced in the
circuit
This AC current Passes
through L1 and L2 and
its transferred to
Secondary circuit
This AC current passed to the plates A and B and it make the
Crystal to vibrate due to the principle of inverse piezoelectric
effect. The vibrations of crystal creates Ultrasonic waves
