transducers into five which are Light Emitting Diode
(LED), Light Dependent Resistor (LDR),
Potentiometer, Proximity Sensor, and Thermocouple
II. PROBLEM STATEMENT (Peltier). These components have been conducted with
different experiments each.
Transducers are commonly used as a sensor or as A. Potentiometer
an output display like for thermistor. Thermistor is a Since potentiometer is a type of resistor and its
type of resistor and transducer whose resistance is resistance varies when the knob was turn, two
dependent on temperature. How will an Engineer parameters was set here. The independent variable
know if this is a Negative Temperature Coefficient which is the rotation of the knob (Angular
(NTC) or Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC); Displacement) and the dependent variable which is the
what is the value of the resistance at certain resistance. The student used 1kΩ and this was chosen

type of transducer where it needed an evaluation.
There are a lot of it but this experiment only shows The experiment was set with these procedure:
five types of transducers.
1. Cut out a circle from a sheet of bond paper.
2. Mark the angles on the circle so that the Angular
Displacement can be measured when turning the
knob.
3. Create a hole to the center of the circle in order for
the knob to go through the paper. (See figure 1)
4. Secure the potentiometer by using the bolt and
washer included to it.
5. Create an indicator for the knob and point it to 0°.
B. Light Emitting Diode (LED) The method was illustrated in figure 5.1.
Current affects the brightness of the light that the
LED emits. The experiment for this device is set using
the schematic in figure 3.
A. Potentiometer
Table 1 shows the data obtained in the experiment
of potentiometer. The methods use are already
discussed in methodology.
Figure 8.2 shows the regression line of the The data showed that the resistance decreases when
obtained data. The equation has a R-Squared value of light intensity increases. LDR is at max when no light
0.9971 and the equation of the line is is being sense.
