- 5. This circuit not only indicates the amount of water present in the overhead tank but also gives an alarm when the tank is full. When the water is empty the wires in the tank are open circuited and the 220K resistors pulls the switch low hence opening the switch and LEDs are OFF. As the water starts filling up, first the wire in the tank connected to Low indication wire and the +supply are shorted by water. This closes the switch Low indication wire and turns the LED1 ON. As the water continues to fill the tank, the LEDs2 and 3 lights up gradually. When the water is full, the base of the transistor BC547 is pulled high by the water and this saturates the transistor, turning the buzzer ON.
- 6. One electrode wire is with 9V Battery is placed at the bottom of tank. Next wires are placed step by step above the bottom probe. When the water comes in contact with the electrode tip, a conductive path is established between the sense electrode and the tank wall/reference electrode, which in turn makes the transistors conduct to glow LED and indicate the level of water.
- 7. Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a relatively low melting point. After the metal cools, the resulting joints are not as strong as the base metal, but have adequate strength, electrical conductivity, and water tightness for many uses.
- 9. A light-emitting diode (LED) is an electronic light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many kinds of electronics and increasingly for lighting. LEDs work by the effect of electroluminescence. When the diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes and energy is released in the form of light. This effect is called electroluminescence.
- 10. The electrical resistance of an object is a measure of its opposition to the passage of a steady current. It is discovered by George Ohm in the late of 1820s. The SI unit of the electrical resistance is the Ohm (Ω). The resistance of a resistive object determines the amount of current through the object for a given potential difference V across the object, in accordance with Ohm’s law; 𝐼 =V/R where R is the resistance of the object, measure in ohms, equivalent to 𝑱𝒔/𝑪˄2
- 11. A transistor is a semiconductor device commonly uses to amplify or switch electronic signals. A transistor is made of a solid piece of semiconductor material, with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. This is a NPN Transistor.
- 12. A piezoelectric buzzer consists of an electric ceramic plate which has electrodes on both sides and a metal plate. An electric ceramic plate is attached to a metal plate with adhesives. Applying D.C voltage between electrodes of a piezoelectric ceramic plate causes mechanical distortion due to piezoelectric effect.
- 13. A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive path ways, tracks, or traces, etched from copper sheets laminated on to a non-conductive substrate.
- 14. Now no need to go on the roof to look the water level. It shows the water level in your room like 1/4 tank, 1/2 tank, 3/4 tank and full tank. Alarm starts ringing as soon as tank becomes full. Suitable for every tank.
