Thompson, Frank; Elamari, Matouk – Physics Education, 2008
Measurement of the level of a liquid is needed in many hydrodynamic situations. In the present article, this has been achieved with a conductivity sensor for the specific case of water levels. The use of this system is illustrated by the automation of a gasometer in which the gas is collected in an inverted measuring cylinder resting in a water…
