What is the need for Dual Power Supply in Differential Amplifier? Compare working with Single & Dual Power Supply

The differential amplifier works good, on dual power supply only. However, if it is connected with single power supply, then it’s working becomes unstable. So its comparative points of its working for dual and single power supply are given below.

How Piezo Electric Crystal works? What are the different axes of crystal?

The Piezo Electric Crystal is used to measure pressure. Piezo is an Italian word meaning pressure. It is very accurate in measurement. A piezo crystal is a transducer which can convert pressure into electrical signal. It is an active transducer. It is found that Rochelle salt and Tourmaline substances.

What is transducer? What are the selection criteria of transducer?

Before discussing about what is transducer, first we shall see basic difference between sensor and a transducer. They both are used to sense a change within the environment they are surrounded by or an object they are attached to. However, a sensor will give an output in the same format and a transducer will convert the measurement into an electrical signal.
