Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ
Proximity detectors are basically _____________
__________________________________________.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Proximity detector.
Explanation of Solution
Proximity detectors are sensors used to sense an object's presence without touching it directly. It stops the detector from wearing and allows it to handle hot red metals. Proximity detectors work on different principles. Many metal detectors detect only iron metals, while others could sense all types of metals.
