An inductive proximity sensor's output turns on when the internal oscilator starts oscillating but the capacitive proximity sensor operation is just the opposite.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inductive proximity sensor's output turns on when a metal object enters its sensing field, causing a change in the oscillator's amplitude. Conversely, a capacitive proximity sensor detects changes in capacitance when a material (not limited to metal) comes close, but its operation is not the opposite in terms of oscillator behavior. Both types of sensors use changes in their electromagnetic or electrostatic fields to detect presence, but the materials they detect and the principles of detection differ, not necessarily the behavior of an internal oscillator in an opposite manner.
