Abstract :
In this paper a study has been carried out to use solar cell as a simple static transducer for measurement of linear and angular displacement of a moving object as a primary parameter and also it can be extended for its derivative parameter like velocity, acceleration etc. The working principle of solar cell and its scope of working as a transducer have been discussed. Experimental investigation through software simulation using MULTISIM 10.1 as well hardware implementation has been carried out. Software and hardware simulation show a good conformity in their result.
