How to use a relay

A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and they are double throw (changeover) switches. The relay’s switch connections are usually labeled COM(POLE), NC…

Water Level Indicator

We can use the logic of making an automatic light detector to make a simple water level indicator.We just need to remove LDR from the circuit and put the wires into water, then it simply works as water level indicator. There is a specific resistance between the wires that are dipped into water and conduction of electricity through water gives biasing voltage to base of transistor.

The sensitivity can be adjusted using VR1. Put 470K variable resistance in VR1.

What is a voltage divider circuit

A voltage divider network is a fundamental electronic circuit used to divide a voltage into smaller fractions. It consists of two or more resistors connected in series or in a string, which create intermediate voltage points between the supply voltage and ground. Voltage dividers are commonly used for various purposes in electronics, including setting reference…
