You can use the dual operational amplifier as a
comparator for detecting changes in voltage. In this
project, we’re going to use this comparator function
to make a water buzzer that sounds when the wire
ends come into contact with water.
Slide the switch to position B and assemble the
circuit. When you finish connecting the wiring, slide
the switch to position A to turn on the power. You
should hear no sound from the speaker. Now,
connect the two output terminals with a wire. You will
hear a sound from the speaker.
Next, touch the two output terminals with your
fingers. If the speaker makes a sound again, the
electricity is flowing through your body because the
wire lead is in contact with sweat.
This project uses two dual operational amplifiers. IC
1 works as a comparator. The IC’s negative (–) input
terminal has a reference voltage of about 1.6V.
When a voltage exceeding 1.6V is applied to the
positive (+) input terminal, the output of the
comparator allows IC 2 to work as an astable
multivibrator.
