Transducer Classification Quiz

Passive transducers derive power from an auxiliary power source and part of the power from the physical quantity being measured, while active transducers do not require an auxiliary power source.

Primary measurements are direct measurements, secondary measurements are derived from primary measurements, and tertiary measurements are derived from secondary measurements.
