Measurement of Electrical Conductivity Degree of some Metallic Conductors by Using the LC Circuit

Metallic conductors have different degrees of their electrical conductivity. The aim of this research is to measure the electrical conductivity degree for some metallic conductors by measuring the induced voltage in a coil probe, which moves inside the metallic conductor sample tube. When a low frequency of alternating current flows through the LC circuit, it will pass through the solenoid and will generate a magnetic field, which will be reduced due to the presence of the metallic sample tube. The magnetic flux strength generated inside the solenoid determine the electrical conductivity (σ ) of this metallic tube by measuring the EM force induced on the solenoid in the presence the sample tube and without it. Measurements are conducted on two sample models (zinc and aluminum). Test results shows deviation of 10 % compared with the reference values ​​.
