A linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) senses displacement and indicates a voltage output, which is linear to the input. Figure 2 shows an LVDT setup used for static calibration. It uses a micrometer to apply the known displacement and a voltmeter for the output. A well-defined voltage powers the transducer.

Feedback control requires being able to sense the variable being controlled. Because electrical signals can be transmitted, amplified, and processed easily, often we want a sensor whose output is a voltage or current proportional to the variable being measured. Describe a sensor that would give an electrical output proportional to: a. Temperature b. Pressure c. Liquid level d. Flow of liquid along a pipe (or blood along an artery) e. Linear position (t) Rotational position f. Linear velocity g. Rotational speed h. Translational acceleration i. Torque
