Transducer: piezoelectric transducer

Piezoelectric Sensor Piezoelectric Transducer   It is example of active and passive transducer.  Piezo-electric effect Direct Effect: generating an electric charge when subjecting it to a strain Indirect Effect: Generating a mechanical strain in response to an applied electric field   Piezoelectric Material:  Natural :  Tourmaline; Quartz; Topaz; Rochelle salt  Synthetic: Barium Titanate (BaTiO 3 ); Lead Zirconate (PbZio 3 ); Polymer Films (Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), (-CH2-CF2-)n). Applications:  Mechanical variables such as pressure, force and acceleration.  Gas Lighters Quartz clocks Loudspeaker Signal Conditioning Circuit: Charge Amplifier  Formula for piezoelectric transducer
