hi again
well i was just wondering ,if i use a op-amp for the driver circuit,and
supply 8khz(3v max) can i still get the desired output to mesure
conductivity.And if i can assume that the resistance of the water at
27.7CF in that pipe is of the order of 500 Ohms. The voltage induced
into the water loop will be of the order of 10mV. And so can i now
work out the current and therefore the Ampere turns energising the
pickup coil. From there can estimate the flux and hence the induced
emf per turn of pickup.
If this emf is very small, and small in comparison with noise induced
in the water loop then you may need to consider using a synchronous
rectifier together with a sensitive amp at the pickup.
