Circuit using single quad opamp measures relative change in con-centration of salt solution by monitoring its conductance. Use of alternating current through solution eliminates errors caused by electrolysis effect. Wien-bridge oscillator having R4C1 and R4R3 as arms of bridge generates 1-kHz signal for driving amplifier A2 through solution. P1 controls oscillator amplitude, and P2 adjusts gain of A2. A3-A4 form precision rectifier giving output voltage equal to absolute value of input voltage.-M.
