Understanding Electric Current and Circuits

Electric current is the passage of electrical charge through a conductor. This occurs when there is an imbalance of charge between two points of the conductor.

An electric circuit is a set of elements connected together through which electric current flows. For current to flow, the circuit must be closed.

Components of an Electric Circuit

  • Generator: Builds and maintains the voltage needed to produce the current.
  • Conductors: Pathways through which the electric current flows, usually made of copper or aluminum.
  • Receivers: Elements that transform electrical energy into other forms of energy.
  • Switching and Control Elements: Direct the flow of electrical current.

Written on in English with a size of 3.63 KB

Level Instruments Based on Electrical Characteristics

Conductive or Resistive Meter

This instrument consists of a probe with two electrodes. When the tip of the electrodes contacts a conductive liquid, it closes an electrical circuit. An amplifier unit then switches a meter contact.

Applications: These serve as level switches for conductive liquids in containers, provided the liquids are not excessively viscous or corrosive.

Ultrasonic Level Meter

This meter uses tunable, high-frequency sound waves that propagate through the gas phase until they collide with the liquid or solid surface.

Usage:

  • As an alarm level indicator: The frequency is damped when the liquid wets the sensors.
  • As a continuous level indicator: The emitted signal reflects off the liquid/
