Highlights
  • Piezoelectric transducers are active transducers as they are of self generating type.
  • Tiny microphones and speakers are made up of piezoelectric transducers.
  • In direct piezoelectric effect, the transducer generates voltage on application of force or pressure or strain. Microphone is an example.
  • In inverse piezoelectric effect, transducers convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Speakers are example of it.
