Definition

material entity when it is used for transforming energy between two different forms

Semi-Formal Definition:

material artifact that bears a transducer role

Examples

• Any device by which variations in one physical quantity (e.g. pressure, brightness) are quantitatively converted into variations in another (e.g. voltage, position)
• a loudspeaker that transforms electrical energy into sound energy
