Water Level Sensor

In this simulation, students explore how a Water Level Sensor detects the presence and level of water. They can connect the sensor to a power supply and an LED module, then vary the water level to observe how the LED responds. This activity introduces the basics of water level sensing and demonstrates how these sensors are used in water tanks, flood detection systems, and automatic water management.
