Transducers Kit

The measurements package is an instrumentation module with signal conditioining circuitry and includes a wheatstone bridge, oscillator, operational amplifier, discriminator and power amplifer. The electro-mechanical kit includes 6 linear displacement transducers, namely a linear variable resistor, variable inductor, variable area capacitor, linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), variable distance capacitor and a strain gauge. The heat transducers kit includes 4 thermal devices and a heat bar assembly with temperature gradient. It includes a thermistor, platinum resistance, a bi-metallic strip and thermocouple. The light transducers kit comprises a light source, photoconductive cell, photodiode and phototransistor. A power supply, leads and theory and experiment manual with 28 comprehensive assignments completes transducers teaching kit.
