i am having trouble with a problem about a capacitor based sensor.. i am to propose two separate capacitance based sensors, one for soil moisture and another for water level..
my problem is finding the time constant inorder to find C
so i can use the equation C = k(e0)A/d to solve for k... as i would know C, A and d in my proposed system
i know that C= T/R my R will be know except T which i can find... i know i can get T with a frequency meter device, but because i have little knowledge of what it is, i have no idea where i would place this device onto my capacitor circuit... (which is where my problem lies) how would i place a frequency meter into a simple RC circuit?
im not sure if I am on the right track, any help would be much appreciated
