How many plies of toilet paper is that? (As a Fermi question, make some assumptions, but state them and show your work.)   Answer/Discuss       TECH ARTICLE     Operating principles for inductive proximity sensors "Inductive proximity sensors are used for non-contact detection of metallic objects. Their operating principle is based on a coil and oscillator that creates an electromagnetic field in the close surroundings of the sensing surface. The presence of a metallic object (actuator) in the operating area causes a dampening of the oscillation amplitude." Read this article in its entirety.
