An inductive transducer converts motion into a voltage signal by varying either the mutual or self inductance within a magnetic circuit. It works by detecting changes in the magnetic characteristics of an electric circuit due to the motion of an object. There are two main types: self-generating inductive transducers that produce a voltage signal due to relative motion between a conductor and magnetic field, and non-self generating transducers that require an external power source to energize coils whose inductance changes with object motion. Examples of each type are given.

2. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
TRANSDUCER????
•A transducer is a device that converts
one form of energy to another.
• 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.

4. WHAT IS INDUCTIVE
TRANSDUCER?????
In inductive transducer, magnetic
characteristics of an electric circuit
changes due to motion of object
A simple type of displacement sensor is the
variable inductance type wherein the
variation of inductance as a function of
displacement is achieved either by variation
in mutual inductance or self inductance

5. SELF NON-SELF
GENERATING GENERATING

6. :
•A voltage signal is generated in the
transducer, because of relative motion of the
conductor and a magnetic field.
EXAMPLE: 1. ELECTRODYNAMIC
2. ELECTROMAGNETIC
3. EDDY CURRENT TYPE ,etc.

9. :
Also called as external power source of
transducers, in which an external source is
needed to energise coils, the inductance of
which would change due to motion of the
object.
1. LVDT type
2. Air gap type
3. Attachment type inductance transducer, etc.
