What are active and passive transducers.

Active transducers generate electric current or voltage directly in response to environment stimulations.Examples would be thermocouples.Thermocouples produce voltage difference on its terminals ,proportional to the temperature of the environment.

Passive transducers produce a change in some passive quantity such as capacitance, resistance or inductance as a result of stimulation.Examples are strain gauge,Rtd,thermistors.
