What will be an ideal response?


Proximity detectors are designed to detect the presence or absence of some object. Some detectors are designed to detect metals only, and others have the ability to detect almost any material. Some rely on a change of inductance to detect the presence or absence of metal, and others rely on a change of capacitance to detect almost any object.
