Measurements of the electrical parameters for different water samples

The resistance and capacitance values of the water samples are measured by using two different cell probes (length 10 cm and 5 cm) and a measuring module. Measured conductivities for the different water samples are compared where the lowest conductivity is obtained for the distilled water (3.28 μS/cm) and the highest value is for the boiled water 325.91 μS/cm. Using the measured series resistance values, and by knowing the frequency (1 kHz), the imaginary part of permittivity value is also determined. The imaginary part of the permittivity for the distilled water with the long cell probe is about 0.524 × 10−7 F/m (for the short probe is 0.523 × 10−7 F/m) while for the boiled water sample is the highest value of 53.58 × 10−7 F/m (for the short probe is 51.87 × 10−7 F/m). Imaginary part of the permittivity factor for the given samples from measurements with the long and short probes are compared.

► Using a cylindrical cell probe sample capacitance and resistance are measured.
► Electrical parameters for different water samples are given.
► Resistance for DW is the highest and for the BW is the lowest.
► Electrical conductivities of the water samples are measured.
► Imaginary part of the sample permittivity is determined at 1 kHz.
