I. INTRODUCTION
Transducers, as we already know, are electronic
devices which convert energy from one form to another.
Transistors can be regarded as a type of switch. It has three
elements, the emitter, the base, and the collector. A
transistor would only allow current to flow through it if a
current flows through the base and emitter.
In this project, we utilize this property of a
transistor and potentionmeter to make sound reactive
LEDs.
transistor and the audio right was connected the base of the
other transistor. The 3.5 jack outputs sound via electrical
signals. When there is audio on the left, the 3.5 jack would
send a current from audio left to the ground, this turns on
the switch on the transistor so current would flow from its
collector to the emitter. The LEDs would then glow since
there is current flowing through it. The current cannot
backflow on the circuit since the LEDs would only permit
current to flow on one direction.
